Getting out of boating because you are having kids is like child abuse. Our kids have grown up on boats and love it. We do think it's important to go out without them once in a while though.

Kids are way far the best things in life. My 13 year old son is my best buddy. And my little 5 year old girl is my sweet heart. Kind of cool buying carbs, exhaust, speed spindles to make his goped the fastest. (Wifes Quote: (Can't you leave anything alone?)......Hav'nt started working on my daughters Barbie jeep yet ! ;)

I have to say that when my wife told me we were going to have a baby I was in shock. (38 and no responsibilities but to enjoy ourselves) Our lives are changed forever. Our lives changed but for the better I do not know what I would do with out our boy. He helps me wash the boat, goes with me everywhere, wakes me up at 6 in the morning and asks more questions than I have the answers for. The last 7 years he has been with us I would not trade for anything. I am not that religious, but I thank god that this wonderful little person is in my life. Forrest
Now if I could only get him to quit complaining that the boat is to loud.
