Dad's 60th on Lake Hopatcong

My dad turned 60 this past June. In honor of this special birthday, the whole family joined him on a fishing/swimming trip at Lake Hopatcong. We rented a pontoon boat and absolutely loved it!

 

There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, fish, eat...

 Although the tubes occasionally got in the way.

 

We were so happy to have such a gorgeous day! This trip was originally scheduled for closer to his actual birthday, but the weather was horrible on that day. Luckily, we were able to switch dates with no problem.

 

Both boys caught fish. Sunnies, but still fish.

 EVERYONE was in the water. It was so warm! And clear! The boys LOVED jumping off the deck, swimming around, and climbing back up the ladder. Wearing life vests helped, as you could easily float around on the surface.

 

Boys loved driving the boat. What a responsibility! 

Jim even had a dragonfly land on his fingertip!

After a great dinner at the Jefferson House (we docked the boat right up to it!), we returned the boat around 7:30PM that night. Nine hours out on the boat! We were all nice & tan & tired afterwards. 

A very memorable birthday for Pop Pop!
