We took the girls on their first boat ride last Saturday. Our friend Aaron's parents, Dave and Sheila, have a boat and they let Aaron, his wife Terri, and their 2 kiddos bring it to the slip near our house. We had a scrumptious dinner (bbq chicken and lots of veggies from Aaron and Terri's garden) and then drove down to the river access and loaded the kids in the boat.
Let me just tell you, this is probably going to be the only summer we don't have some sort of watercraft-- we had SO much fun out there! Emily absolutely LOVED the boat and had a blast watching the waves, letting the wind go in her hair, and "driving" the boat. (Thanks to Aaron's quick reflexes for correcting her HUGE turn to the left that nearly capsized us all!)
The pictures speak a thousand words...sorry some are very overexposed-- it was super sunny, even for 6pm and they looked a whole lot better in my viewfinder than when I actually uploaded them.

| Cooper proved to be a much calmer, safer driver than Emily. |
