First Boat Trip

Last Sunday (July 28^th) we finally uncovered the boat and took it out for the first time(sad, I know).  It was also Tommy’s first time in our boat since he has been born—he went on quite few trips in my tummy  last summer.  This is probably the longest we have ever waited.  Basically since the time Susie and I met we have been avid boaters and used to go every weekend or at least every other weekend.  The kids have definitely slowed this down a bit and the summers seem to go faster and faster.  Anyways, we were forced to get it out and get it ready for our annual St. Croix River camping trip coming up this weekend.  We didn’t do any swimming/tubing/skiing/wakeboarding this time around, it was more of just get out and make sure everything works properly.   Maggie loves the boat and wanted to help drive the entire time.  Tommy seemed to enjoy himself too.  Susie and I had forgotten how much we enjoyed it and agreed we need to get out more often. 

Maggie knew just what to do

Maggie wanted to go faster and faster and make bigger and bigger waves.
