As most of you know, Jay got a boat for his birthday and this past weekend we took it out for the first time! We met up with our friends, Joe and Amy and headed out to the lake (after a big rain storm, haha). We started off a little rocky but soon got the hang of things. The kids really enjoyed being out on their own boat but did actually wish they could be on the boat with their friends! We tried anchoring the boats together but it was a bit choppy so it was impossible to do. We ended up having a really fun day out on the water!!
I even took a shot at driving the boat. I kept it pretty slow but I had a lot of fun driving it. I even got it up onto the trailer when we were done!! Scary but I did it!!!
Our fun in the water was cut a little short. Caiti and I went out on the water and ended up getting pulled out with the current. I tried swimming back in towards the boat but holding on to Caiti with both our lifevests on made it absolutely difficult. We just kept getting pulled further and further away from the boat. I started to panic and yelled to Jay to jump out and help us!!! He did and in the process, broke his phone and lost his watch (the watch that survived two deployments with him). So after that if the kids wanted to go in the water we stayed very close to the boat and held onto the ladder the whole time. They had to take turns getting in so I could be in there with them, hahah!! No more boats on windy days!!!
The bow of our boat sits up a little higher than our friends boat so Cory preferred to sit back here behind the window next to Dad, hahaha! Caiti and I sat up in the bow...she's our little thrill-seeker!
