My Dad invited me to go ride on the lake with him one day this week. He has two sea*doos, so we rode all over the lake with only a few boats and a couple of other sea*doos on it with us. My Mom volunteered to keep our children, so my Dad and I could go for the day just the two of us.

I don’t remember the last time just my Dad and I went somewhere together. He turned 70 this year and I turned 40, so it was nice to spend the day with him! Here is a rare close-up of me. I started not to post, but I snapped this of us while we ate our picnic lunch that my Dad packed for us (thought that was so nice of him!).

It also served as a great teacher mental health day! Thanks Dad for the fun and relaxing day! Nothing like letting a sea-doo run wide open to get all the stress out and refocus for a new school year. I could see this becoming a tradition (hint, hint).
