Memorial Day on the River

Steph and I took the boat out today, and had a blast with the kids. We had an extra long weekend with Naomi, and even thought the weather started off badly, it got into the 70s later on which was awesome.

Naomi, to my surprise followed through with her desire to get on the inner tube, and had a blast. She said she really wanted to, but I had my doubts as to whether she would or not, but she did and did awesome. I didn't go crazy in the boat and, truth be told, we were barely idling before she asked to slow down(!!) but I was very proud of her.



She actually got pretty cocky after a while, and was doing it one handed, while waving to people going by us...which was everyone as we were going so slow!

We even bought the video camera!



Jack of course was doing well as long as he had something to eat. He was all bundled up and just chilling out.



Ruby came along, too, which was funny. She had on her special infant life jacket, and you couldn't sink her if you tried in that thing. The sound of the boat, and the movement of the water meant that she slept pretty much the entire time.



So we have now taken the boat out a few times and it has been great. I dinged the dock once (which was my fault pulling away...I was watching the dog instead of the river) but this looks to be a good investment for the summer!
