This weekend, the boys got to experience an extra special treat--a boat ride!
Our sweet friends, Chet and Vickie, invited us to enjoy the day at their house on Lake Hartwell. To prepare, Jody went out to get the boys some lifejackets so that they could ride in the boat. Thank goodness we tried those lifejackets on before we left. Needless to say, the whole experience did not go well. The jackets were super tight, and they zipped in the back and around the neck. Jody said it looked like Houdini trying to get out of a straightjacket. Jack had a panic attack; I had a panic attack; Rowan stared, wide-eyed; and we all yelled for Daddy to rip it off.
Thankfully, Aunt Katie came to the rescue and bought the boys some non-threatening lifejackets that fit so much better and made the boys much happier (or as happy as they can be, surrounded by massive pieces of floaty stuff). YAY for Katie! :)
Once on the boat, the boys only fussed for a little bit when we first put the jackets on, but that all changed once we started moving.
They. Loved. It.
Jack just smiled and took it all in, while Rowan squealed and laughed when the wind hit his face. They had fun for a good ten minutes......and then they both fell asleep! Well, Jack attempted to sleep, but he literally kept one eye open the whole time.
Fun, fun, fun! These are the memories that I never want to forget!
