A Bible and a Bee

The guys were all up at 5:20 AM to launch the Houseboat. This is quite a process but with all of them working together it goes really well. The goal was to be moving by 6 AM which we were.

Once on our way it is actually a very leisurely excursion, and since we chose to do the trip all in one day it will be a 5 1/2 hour ride. Two pots of coffee had been set to brew the nite before so we were ready.

Shana and I got up with the guys and it was beautiful to see the lake and canyons as the sun came up. Britt got a few amazing pictures. It is a very peaceful and pleasant ride.

Ross was alone on the top deck with his Bible having devotions. An incredibly large bee decided to join him and got a little too close for comfort. All we heard below was a tussle happening on the deck above us. Then Shana who was near a window witnessed a rather large splash in the water next to the houseboat.

Moments later Ross came down the steps and a said that a large bee was being quite aggressive. It wouldn't leave so he got up and tried to get away from it. It continued to follow him so he took a swipe at it with his Bible which then propelled accidentally out of his hand and went overboard.

We had such a great laugh over that...but at the same time felt incredibly bad about the loss of his Bible. Thankfully it wasn't his regular Bible but a loss just the same.
