Today we were able to go out on the boat with Grandma and Papa H. The kids had such a great time with it last year that we wanted to be sure we got at least one trip in! Carson really struggled at first, the way the boat tilted and bounced scared him. Dillon, Carson and I ended up getting off the boat after a little while so that Carson could swim around at the shore. He spent some time there with Me, and then with just Papa (who got in to swim with him)! After that we went to pick them up so we could eat lunch and Carson was ready to go! He adjusted to the boat and even went on the inter tube (and was NOT interested in letting anyone else have a turn). Kayda took a couple of rides to warm up; Dillon was ready to go pretty much immediately but they both got to the point that Papa could whip them around in and out of the wake! Going outside the wake actually turned into their favorite part. When riding with Dillon he chattered non-stop about what his favorite parts were and why! We were able to stop a few times and swim around the boat, the kids had a blast jumping from it and even Carson got into the fun of swimming in the deep areas. All the kids braved swimming without life jackets for a little while. Carson, of course, would swim between the boat and I; but he still swam without his vest!
I'm so glad that Grandma and Papa H have the boat and are willing to go out with us! Grandma went swimming with us for a little while and hopefully next time we can get them both in the water with us even more! Maybe one of these trips we'll get them to hop on the inter tube with one of the kids!
