Our family loves to go on vacation, the beach is one of our favorite destinations but we usually opt for an every other year family vacation as it can get a bit pricey. This is an off year for our family and in the years we don't go on vacation we try to do something fun a few times during the summer, we love to just make memories. Hubby got a wild idea to rent a boat and go out on the lake near Whitewater Indiana for the day...I protested as I was concerned about it being really expensive, but turns out it was an awesome idea. We rented a pontoon boat for 4 hours and it only cost $100 for that rental. The boat was very spacious (it seats 14) and in great shape and the rental marina was great to work with! Couple all that up with some packed drinks and lunches and it was a pretty economical "Stay-cation" in my book!

It was an absolutely beautiful day, 75 degrees, sunny, I mean just look at those clouds!
Here is the lot of us ready to cruise out!

We cruised on the lake and it was clean and beautiful. Look who got to drive!
 | After lunch we did some more cruising and threw the anchor over for some deep swimming for the big kids. Mom didn't swim this time as someone had to watch that baby! Wee one was so relaxed he took a nap on the swaying boat. |

It was an awesome day, and all the kids were worn out after we were done. We finished off the day with pizza back home and a viewing of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.
