First Boat Ride


We took the girls out on their first boat ride of the season back on Memorial Day.  I figured it was appropriate to post pictures of the water, boating and such since we will be getting to do the same thing tomorrow! 

This is actually only Carli's third time to get to go on the boat.  We took her out her first summer.  Then her second summer Ava was an infant so she got to go a couple of times for rides.  Her third summer the boat didn't get on the water b/c of the drought.  So really this was the first time that Carli could remember.  And this was Ava's very first time too.  :)

We had actually played in the water prior to getting on the boat.  The puddle jumpers have helped a lot with Carli's confidence.  Ava has no fear.  She jumps off the dock, gets water in her face and just comes back for more!

We took the boat out right before dark.  We started off on the tube.  I was not surprised that Ava was willing to get on the tube.  I was surprised that Carli got on it!  So Uncle Andy drove us for a nice relaxing ride on the tube.

We started off with the girls sitting up.

The eventually decided to lay down and it was a struggle to keep Ava on b/c she wanted in the water!


Carli "warming up" after her tubing adventure.



Ava was all smiles!


Uncle Andy and Logan went for a spin too!  They went much faster than our crew did!


Tomorrow ought to be a blast!  We actually did not tell the girls we were going to the lake because we wanted them to sleep tonight!
