MARCUS EARNS HIS STRIPES

Today was grandson, Marcus's day on Proud Mary and what a little trouper he was!  He followed all of grandpa's instructions to the "T" and earned his 'Pirate Strips" by not hitting the buoys, not running down any fishes and not hitting land. :-) 

After the ride on the lake we returned to the dock to walk up to "Ralph's" for ice cream, of course. Then we held a ceremony awarding little Marcus with his Pirate flag for doing such a great job. 

Grandkids Jordan and Parker were with us today as well, so we had a 'boatful of kiddos' out there on the lake.  they spent the day kayaking, reading, playing games and enjoying their last day at the lake. Tomorrow they go back to their mommies and EVERYONE starts to get ready for the big BIRTHDAY PARTY for grandpa! 

Another great day on the lake!....and the beat goes on.

    We're in San Francisco this week with our three youngest grandchildren. Having a wonderful time but realizing why one has kids when we are young!
