The favorite day of the Spendlove Reunion, for most family members, was Thursday, July 6, 2017, when we rented a 22' deck boat with 250 hp and a tube to drag along behind. We spent the whole day, from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., on Flathead Lake, taking turns driving the boat, riding on the tube, and just vegging, watching the blue water melt into the blue mountains. Between turns at boating, we sat on the grass above the shore, eating our picnic.
Some people liked their tube ride mellow, coasting along in the center of the boat's wake.
Others preferred a wild ride, scooting back and forth across the wake and, for the greatest of pleasures, flipping over!
Spencer, Jonny, Mike, and Steve were all great boat pilots, but only Steve zigged and zagged ferociously enough to flip the tube over.
Sunning on the deck and taking photographs were great pastimes for our boating day.
Henry and Sam live in Florida, and love the water.
Jonny loves driving a boat, as well as riding in one.
The Flindts also love the water, after their years of living and boating on Lake Sammamish and Pine Lake, in Washington.
Spencer was another of our pilots. "This reminds me of our Young Men Young Women activities," Spencer said. Spencer and Kirsten rode on deck boats many times during Church activities for youth in Seattle.
Heidi looks better in a swimsuit than most of us! She coasted along in the tube with Mike, and lounged on the boat deck with Alyssa.
