Katherine’s Landing @ Lake Mohave NV…
nice and calm on a Saturday afternoon in September (on the 2nd day of Fall)…
This past weekend we decided to take our last river trip of the year. Unfortunately we didn’t get to spend as much time there as we would have liked with the boat overhaul that took place this summer. We repaired, updated and overhauled a bunch of stuff on the boat this year and time only left a few trips this year. And being that its now September and everyone is back to work, weekends aren’t as easy to get away for. But the Harp’s, Hudson’s and Cilderman’s all came out for the fun time!
We took Friday off work and headed out Thursday evening…which gave us 2 FULL days on the water. Was awesome! Not many people can say they spent their first day of Autumn in 100+ degree weather, relaxing on a raft with amazing friends and family!!
Owen found napping on the boat easy…thank goodness he was able to catch a quick nap to recharge those batteries.
On Saturday we found a quiet cove to let anyone who wanted to jump off the boat (for a picture opt…b/c on Friday evening little Payton jumped off the roof by herself and no one had a camera…what the heck). So the big boys jumped from the roof and the kids jumped from the side…Payton wasn’t as brave that day!
I was SHOCKED that our Owen actually asked to put his lifejacket on and jump off…he is NOT a crazy boy like that…but he totally stepped up and did it! One jump was plenty for Owen but it was awesome…I was so proud of him! Payton, Tate and Jaxon jumped a good few times…Ryry decided to wait until next summer to show Baby Brynn how!
So we spent our last day on the beach and I will say I enjoyed every minute of it…broken foot and all! haha
Owen caught his first fish thanks to Trav…he wasn’t into touching it or anything but stood there long enough for the picture!!! Was so cute! And OF course on our way back to the dock at the end of the day Owen always PASSES THE HECK OUT…dead to the world…but I love it. Only times he sleeps with me these days…so I enjoy every second of it…and take pictures of him to embarrass him with for the rest of his life haha.
We love going to the lake and are so thankful that my in-laws purchased this boat 10 years ago and allow us to use it as we want! Thank you Al & Marilyn…all the memories that have been made there and will continue to be made are cherished by many!
So another summer officially over…See ya later “Betty” (that’s the name I’ve given the boat…since we took Betty Laughlin’s slip at the dock I thought it fit for our boat name…its not official BUT I like it heehee)
…Until next summer!!!
PS. Owen was so not thrilled to have to be leaving the boat…he loves being on the “wake” as he says it…
