Birthday party on a boat

Our friend Joanna has told her husband several times that she would like to celebrate a birthday with a boat trip on the Vltava River. This year, Mark was able to make that happen, and we were invited.

You all know how we feel about boats, and so we were the first aboard! It was a perfectly scrumptious day - hot and sunny, and we were so ready to be out on the water again!!

Notice the photo above - Mark is on the phone.... Some of the guests did not make it to the dock at the time specified, and the boat had to leave in order to go through a lock before it closed for the evening. No worries, though, we picked them up at another point upstream.

Chris' business partner Mathias and wife Carrie....

All aboard, enjoying the sun!

Mark made the cake (with a little help from Joanna I heard)....

Cyndy and Mathias - checking out Rudy's paw injury...

(OK, Rudy is Mathias' dog, and we were talking about vet services.... )

Partying into the night.....

Perfect ending to a perfect trip - no less than three sets of fireworks were visible this beautiful evening!!
