My dad randomly bought a boat last summer, at the very end of the year, so Andy and I were unable to go out for a ride on the reservoir. The kids went on it though on a weekend Andy and I were away, and Henry had not forgotten the trip, nearly 9 months ago. So this past Sunday, we broke out the boat for the season. The kids had a blast. They splashed around in the water and Henry got to fish.
Sitting on the boat with Grandma Deaner. Henry did great with his life jacket, didn't complain once, but Hannah on the other hand was terrible. She wanted nothing to do with the thing. So that was a little bit of a challenge. We finally got her distracted and she forgot about it.
Fishing off the back of the boat with Papa.
He can cast all on his own! Such a big boy.
Check out that tongue. Pretty funny - he does it a lot when he is concentrating hard.
Hannah LOVED jumping off the back of the boat.

Andy driving a boat for the first time.
The kids played in the sand while Andy practiced his docking skills (check him out in the background). I think it took only 10 times, but he finally lined it up right and got it on the trailer!
