The Girls Big Adventure

Yesterday I woke the girls up really early and I told them to hurry and get dressed because today we are going on a boat! Immediately, excitement filled the room as Audrey started jumping up and down and Rachel said, "I like boats! Boats are my favorite!" I found that a little surprising considering that neither one of the girls have ever been on a boat before. We rushed out of the house (we were running late as usual) and we were on our way. The day started out slow as we drove out to the Lake and put the boat in the water. The girls were very curious about every step and were really excited! The excitement started to wear off as things started heating up and Audrey needed to go potty. You should have seen her face when we told her that the only place to go potty was in the water. She decided that she was done with boating and wanted to go home and go to the potty. We finally convinced her to get into the water and take care of business after taking off her life jacket and her swimsuit and then putting her life jacket back on. She felt a little better about the whole thing as long as she didn't have to get her "wisuit" dirty. After a nice refreshing swim, a few crackers, and a caprisun, the kids were happy again. We spent the day watching James and our friend Mike Scurf and then Mimi went wake baording. I really wanted to water ski but decided that it wasn't worth the risk of falling and somehow hurting the baby. The kids got to go tubing and had a great time! I would say our first experience was a success. We showed up to church today a little more "pink" than usual!
