The Grandkids Get Thanksgiving Vacation

The weather was good and the grandkids, Brennan and Madison, were out of school for Thanksgiving vacation. It's likely that their momma, Millette, was running out of ways to entertain them, so it sounded like a great idea to go to Mimi's house and spend the day. We caught up on their news and what was going on in their lives, and Mimi had a couple of distractions to keep them occupied, but it wasn't long before everyone was eying the boat wanting to go for a ride. We got everyone rounded up and on board, then headed Bavarian Cream upriver towards the former Leisure Landing resort. After a short ride, Capt. Larry turned the helm over to Brennan who leisurely navigated us to our destination. When we arrived at Leisure Landing, Brennan was told how to turn the boat around using only the two engines. He did a fantastic job and had us headed for our home slip in short order. He piloted us through the "No Wake" zone adjacent to the resort then turn control over to his sister, Madison. Madison had piloted the boat before, so this was familiar territory for her.

Mimi started talking about the considerable wake Bavarian Cream throws when she is up on plane. Well, everyone wanted to get up on plane and go fast. Capt. Larry obliged and everyone enjoyed going fast on the winding river. We finally made it back to the slip, got the boat secured, and went in the house for pizza and refreshments. Madison and her Mimi then worked on some crafts while Brennan and Larry took the van to scavenge for some roadside pieces of wood that would be used in a Thanksgiving day bonfire. Everyone seemed to have had a good time and we would meet again on Thanksgiving day.
