On the Lake with the Montellos

This forth of July, we spent the day on Lake Quivira with the Montello family. They recently obtained a pontoon boat that was perfect for a nice leisurely day on the water. Chris and Luca were all fired up to go boating together! Then, of course, when we got on the boat, our little worrier got so nervous when his friend Luca was walking around the boat. "Luca you have to sit down or else you might fall off," he kept saying, at one point near tears that his best buddy might get hurt. Here he is calling Luca back to sit with him...
Notice that we still had not gone anywhere, but he was still so concerned about his boy. Once we got going, everyone enjoyed the cruise over to a nice swimming spot where we all got to swim in the open water-- a very exciting thing for the buds! He even got a chance to drive the boat around a little! Good thing it doesn't go very fast.


Later, we docked the boat over by the beach and did some swimming there as well as watched the 4th of July parade that they were having. Finally we all got a bit hungry so it was off to the Montello residence for some grilled cheese, pasta salad, and watermelon. What a great way to spend the holiday!
