Boating Season

Hi All,
We got the boat delivered and dropped in the water. (Incidentally, it went much smoother than last year.) Of course, we did an inaugural ride for the year. It was still pretty nippy,even though we are two weeks later than last year. So it was a quick ride, but I think it's going to be even more fun for the kids this year.

Drew wasted no time making his way to the captain's chair

As you can see, it was a "hair blowing in the breeze" kind of ride

Duck, Duck, Goose

Hi All,
I wanted to include a picture of our lake friends, because Drew and Bree really enjoy watching them in action. We have lots of ducks on our lake, but this picture happens to be of one of the goose families that wandered up to our beach.

Ducks and geese are ALL known as ducks in our house. And Drew and Bree are very good at saying "duck!" when they see them outside or even pictures of them in books. And, one of their all-time favorite words is "quack"! Just ask them. In no uncertain terms, they can tell you a duck says "quack, quack, quack".

And here are our happy little boaters later in the day. Seriously, this is the happiest I have seen them in their dreaded life jackets!

Boating Enthusiasts?

Hi All,

We got our new pontoon boat this week.

Our new pontoon being launched

Jim and I like it alot! We all went out for a ride, along with Jim's parents on Tuesday evening. We're not quite sure what the kiddos think yet. After a bit of fussing, here was their reaction.

What do you think???? Boating enthusiasts?
