I had a late afternoon dermatology appointment in Foxboro so Jeff took the kids to the shops at Patriot Place and when I finished I met up with them and we went for a nature walk around a cranberry bog and then we made a potentially disastrous decision.
We went to Bass Pro Shops.
Have you ever been to Bass Pro Shops?
With a four-year-old boy who is obsessed with guns and bows and arrows?
If we'd stayed there about a minute longer we'd have emerged armed for bear in head-to-toe camo (pink for Summer). As it was, all five of us kind of glided out the door vacant-eyed and drooling over
THIS.
Maybe Santa will bring the boat for you. :)

That model on the bow of the boat is 5'4'' tall and weighs 128 pounds after he fell in. Put Jeff on the bow and his ankles would be wet

What are you saying, that the Low Bid II is for sissies? Actually I have named it the Summer Chaos after my three bairns.

Wow, the Low Bid II... Jill, I'm impressed! Or you could call it the LoBid.

(S)Low Bid was what some called a previous underpowered yacht, Summer Chaos is Excellent and believe me when you get a big guy on a small boat,it can be a concern.

I'm going to have to agree with Dad. That boat looks tiny for a family of 5. A slightly bigger one would be fabulous though! love the potential name too.

Well, it's a small lake.
Jim, is the sun frying your brain? Aren't you in the Florida Keys? Or did I miss that memo?

And by the way, how ridiculous are you people? We can't even afford, like, 10% of this boat, and you want us to buy a bigger one?
