"Biiiig Boat!"

This past Friday evening, we picked up a pizza and had a picnic overlooking the lake. It was really nice in the shade, and we had fun watching the boats come in and out of the marina.

"Dats a biiig boat!" Ben would yell about each one, and we agreed and told him that one day we'd take him on a boat. (Of course, he didn't understand why we couldn't just hop on one of the ones right there!)

Little did we know "one day" turned out to be Sunday, when we got an invite to go out on the lake with some new friends!

Now, the risks associated to spending an afternoon on a ski boat with an infant and a toddler...who was skipping his nap, and is hesitant about water...was not something I was naive about, but since it was probably our only opportunity of the summer, we decided to just go for it. And while there were a few moments of regret - like nursing in the 100-degree, stagnant air, or when both were screaming at once - overall we had a great time!

And on the five-minute cruise back to the dock, both kiddos looked a little like this!

Love Katie Beth's little swimsuit, such a little lady. Looks like fun and I'm sure everybody was holding on tight!
