Boat Trip with the Grandparents!

September 5, 2009
Mommy and the boys had the most wonderful day out on Grammy & Poppie's boat! Nicholas had been looking forward to this trip since his last boating experience. He slapped on his life vets like a champ and was ready to drive with Poppie!

The Captain & his Apprentice

William slept through the launch and half the ride to Cross Lake. Thankfully when he woke, he was okay with the whole boating experience.

What a picture perfect day to spend on the water!

Once at Cross Lake, the boys pulled out Nicholas' beginner fishing pole and caught 2 fish on their first two casts! That little pole sure has been bent like crazy and has turned into one lucky pole!

Nicholas knew right where to go for the fish net. He loves to play with all the doors and boating gadgets (surprise anyone?)

Ewww! A giant catfish! Nicholas had the right idea to tell Poppie to throw it back in the water!

Poppie is so patient with Nicholas, teaching himso many cool things.

Just like his big brother, William is not a baby who will just fall asleep anywhere. It usually takes a fair share of the rock/bounce/sway technique to get this guy to nod off. I don't know what we'll do when he outgrows the sling...

Grammy-Boater-Safety was worried the whole time with William not wearing a vest. I warned her he would no be happy, considering the chubber doesn't have a neck for this vest to fit in!

Poor William!

(believe me, we have the same picutre when Nicholas first tried on that darn vest!)

One happy boater!

Thanks Grammy and Poppie for the wonderful day! We all had a lot of fun and have many fond memories!
