Just Row Your Boat!
by John McGough

Last summer our family took a short weekend trip to Chattanooga and the surrounding area. We eventually ended up spending our Sunday afternoon at a small amusement park. The interesting thing this particular day was that our girls decided that they wanted to take their own boat instead of each riding separately with a parent. The result was not successful.
