Boating

The end of July we took our boys boating for the first time. Ethan had never been on my moms boat yet for lots of reasons, but this summer it was time. The boat was fixed and running so there were no excuses. It was hot, Ty was willing to take us so we loaded up and headed out.

This photo is a little blurry, but it's the best we got of just the two of us.



Ethan was a little nervous once we got going on the boat, but once he realized that he could sit on the back and get his butt in the water while people switched out who was knee boarding/wake boarding, etc... he thought it was great! During one switch, Mart and George got Ethan up on the knee board and just let him sit there for a few minutes.



Lincoln on the other hand didn't like his life jacket and was a little grouchy. He was mad when his dad put his legs in the water, so he just sat on my lap the rest of the time.



He did really well until we hit some waves wrong and a huge amount of water came up and over the windshield and landed right on me and Lincoln! He was not happy. Unfortunately it got all of our towels pretty wet, so he just had to deal with the driest part of the towel I could find. He did pretty good though and ended up falling asleep and stayed that way until we were finished.

Ethan talked about the boat and water for like a week after we went. I think we will definitely have to take him again.
