Adventures on the Lake

We finally took Kadence out on the boat last Wednesday for her first ride! She absolutely loved the wind blowing in her face! She was making the cutest faces as we rode down the lake. We stopped in a cove to have lunch and play for awhile. Jason tried to get her in the water and she wasn't having any part of that! The water is still too cold for her. Her toes were as far as she got before the wailing started! So, back in the boat she went. But don't we all do that when the water's cold?? As we were driving back to the marina she fell asleep. We have better video than pictures but I still haven't figured out how to post videos. She did really well with the life jacket. We were so proud of our sweet baby girl!





The biggest challenge was putting the boat in and getting it back on the trailer. Jason backed the trailer to the ramp for me so I only had a few feet to back up on my own.....I still had issues. So then we had to get the boat back on the trailer...more issues! I've never backed a trailer or driven a boat!!! Jason left me and Kadence (who was sleeping in my arms) in the boat...not anchored may I add...and he went to get the truck...I'm holding a baby and freaking out...he backs the trailer into the water then runs back to the boat....CAN YOU PICTURE THIS???
But you'll be happy to know that we went back out on Saturday, and I put the boat on the trailer! Of course not without having a complete breakdown!! Remember my previous statement about not ever driving a boat.....Jason gave me about a 2 minute lesson and then I was on my own! I took him to the ramp, he jumped off, uh-oh...what did he just tell me to do??? After almost throwing up and on the verge of tears, the boat is on the trailer again safe and sound...and I need a stiff drink!

More fun times with friends and family!!
