Boating

Last week we got to spend some time out on the boat. It was such a nice warm week and we hadn't been on the boat in a few weeks, so we were excited to go out. Nate and I think being on the boat is such a fun family activity and Andrew loves the boat! He asks about it at home all the time. He doesn't mind wearing his jacket the whole time or being confined to a small space. He loves to "drive" the boat and will ask if it's his turn. He's so polite :) He also loves to get in the water. He doesn't really want to swim he just wants me to dunk him in the water (not his face) and then take him back out. It's quite the arm workout! He could do it the whole time we are out there! On Wednesday when we were out he was very independent. He wanted to sit all by himself. He was pretty funny about it. He usually likes to sit with Grandma and watch the guys wakeboard, but this time he just wanted to sit at the back of the boat and relax! When I went out to skii (yes, I double skii...I know, totally 80's) Andrew decided to sit next to Daddy. There was spray coming up on the side of the boat. He thought it was so funny and kept putting his hand out to feel it and laugh. It was pretty fun watching him from behind the boat. Hopefully summer is not over yet and we will have a lot more days on the boat!

P.S. Sophie loves the boat too....she's our little boat dog :)
