We never regretted selling our boat, because our kids were too little to go just as "our little family." At the time, we were building our house and had Meigan's adoption in the works. We never looked back. ....That is until a few weeks ago when we were bowling with some friends and I said it..."WE NEVER SHOULD HAVE SOLD OUR BOAT!" Then, the very next day the guy we sold the boat to called and said, "I am thinking about selling my boat....do you want it back?"
The kids didn't know we were buying it. Madison suspected it and kept saying, "You are not buying that dumb boat are you? I am not skiing!" We made her come home from a friends house and told her we were doing something as a family, she was mad. She asked if we could borrow Grandma's boat and go boating. We agreed and Brian made the fake call to Grandma knowing he was picking up our boat in 30 min.
Madison then asked if we were going to kneeboard. I asked "Will YOU kneeboard?" Maddy,"Yes if Dad buys that boat!" I had to clarify, "You WILL kneeboard?" Maddy, "Yes." I just held back the laughter!
Dalton has been begging for a boat for about a month, we had to dig out old pictures to show him our boat because he didn't remember it. He has seen the boat sitting at their house. When Brian pulled up he thought "those people" were just stopping by until he saw the boat was attached to MY car and then a HUGE smile came to his face and he ran. He couldn't stop climbing on the boat, and going to look at the boat, he even wanted to sleep on it that night when we got back from using it.
