The Events of the 4th

For the 4th we went to Bear Lake. However before we were able to go to Bear Lake we had to register the boat, fix the boat, insure the boat and basically run around in circles for the boat. My husband whom we will refer to in this post as 'The Procrastinator' left his assigned duties until the last second so on July 3rd we found ourselves at the DMV. For those of you whom have experienced the DMV you can sympathize with me. We were there no less than 2 hours (ok maybe it was just a little over an hour). However there is no shortage of people watching at the DMV so it was not wholly uneventful. Afterwards we missed the boat parts store closure by 6 minutes causing us to visit some major autoparts stores to see if they carried marine products (which by the way they do not). Thanks to Brandi's superior connections we got it all worked out (aside from a few minor fix details 'the procrastinator' did not mention to me) and we were off to the Lake of Bears. The stink did pretty good for her first boating trip. She hated the life jacket as it was a little big for her but didn't mind the rest. We did discover that licorice is a great pacifier (yes she is asleep in the picture above with the licorice).
