A couple of years ago we started the
tradition of inviting Swiss Village residents over for boat rides! They do all
kinds of outings all year long (honestly kind of want to join in on them!) and we
joined the list of destinations.
The residents had so much fun
that we ended up having them twice last summer, and last week marked their
first trip here for 2026.
Several residents used to own
lake cottages here and there around Indiana, and they miss boat rides. It is so
much fun for us to get to provide that for them!
We had a beautiful, sunny day,
and the sign-up sheet was full! Two buses pulled up to our house and about twenty
residents settled on the patio for the afternoon.
Ryan took them out on the boat
in two groups, and each group took a couple of laps around the lake. I stayed
back to talk with the remaining group while they waited.
And of course, Lexi thought
(excuse me, knew) all of them were there to see her. She was the best
entertainment.
It is one of my favorite things
each summer, actually. I love seeing the joy on the residents’ faces when they step
off the bus. I love hearing them clap with happiness when they get off the
boat. I love seeing them wave as they sail away from the pier.
It’s good to be able to share…and
I’m so glad they love being part of it!
