Miss Peregrine Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 on Lake Powell and invited us to go with them. We leave Monday morning. Nine kids on a houseboat. It will be fun, right? :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in VA Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 This has the makings of a great book. Take notes and lots of pictures. It really sounds like fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Sounds like an adventure!! Be careful if you're swimming around the boat. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melinda in VT Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 We did this once! I was so paranoid I made poor DS (then 2) *sleep* in his life jacket for the first couple of nights, until DH convinced me that he couldn't climb out of the pack-n-play. Of course, DH's family has some sort of wacky boat curse . . . but since you aren't us, you should have a great time. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara in NH Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I agree with Kathleen in VA (I think that's who I saw post this), take notes, definitely book material. Depending on what happens it could be humor, non-fiction, mystery, etc. On the life jackets, we were fortunate enough to have a wonderful person help us when we first bought our canoes to help us fit our children in life vests. This is so very important. He had them try them on and if you can pick them up by the shoulders and they don't slip out you are okay, if they do you can get a webbing that is just like the one that buckles them in that goes though their legs to make sure they will not slip out of their vest. Even if they can swim this is so important should they black out in some type of fall. Have a wonderful, magical, story producing, memory making time. Blessings, Barbara in NH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 LOL, I will probably make my 5yo sleep in a life jacket. I'm a little skeered but it will be fun, I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Sometimes there are problems with pockets of carbon monoxide in the water around the houseboats. (Not trying to scare you-just want you to be informed if you don't already know. You can google Lake Powell carbon monoxide) I'm sure you'll have fun!
