Aug.5
-a fun day of jetskiing and an evening boat ride in tracy and roberts new toy...
we rode out on cook's creek and onto the red river in selkirk!

(remember the old river boat the Lord Selkirk? i was quite upset to see many of my teenage happy memories beached in the slew of Selkirk...rotting away, being vandalized.  what a sad waste.

  1. Great blog once again Kim! I bet the Wedding pics were just loved!! Seeing how the boat is being wrecked is just so saddening, all those fantastic days of pure joy going to waste is just dreadful.Why people can't restore and leave it being used even out of the water is wrong. People would still go as a bar or fast food place ( seafood) could work, just dont let it go to waste! Anyways I love the pic of your Mom and Oliver!! You all looked like you totally enjoyed your day with Robert & Tracey! I also adore that pic of Courtney with the matching shades and suit!...Nikki xoxoxo
