Boating in October

Our friends the Jensen’s took us boating last weekend.  That’s right, October 9th and we’re out boating.  Hope this warm weather lasts!  We went on the river 5 minutes from our house.  We only went for a couple hours because it was late and I didn’t know how long the boys would last.  But they did great.  They were mostly just quite and still….just taking it all in.  There were a lot of new sounds and sights to observe being on a boat for the first time :) The Christensen’s came too.  They are some of LIncoln’s favorite people.  Emily & Ty are his nursery leaders and Emily works at the daycare at the gym.  Now they’re his boating buddies too!Lincoln’s jacket was just a hair too big.  Not the safest, but dang cute.  It was all we had.  He was great about keeping it on though!Ryan hadn’t been wakeboarding in three years.  But he got up and did great.  I went earlier this summer with the Jensen’s but before that it had been three years for me too.  Way too long.Captain Chase and his Dad Chad.  This little guy has been boating since he was an infant.  He’s a natural.Ty’s turn.  He and Chad are super good wake boarders.At one point towards the end we hit a wave and the four of us got soaked up in the front, especially Sawyer.  The water was really cold so we stripped him down, borrowed one of Chase’s hoodies and wrapped him in a towel.  That’s why he’s not wearing his life jacket.  I know…not the wisest, but it was cold and he was freezing and we were almost done.Good times with great friends.  Summer went by way too fast but I must say this was an excellent way to end it :)
