Boating Fun

Yesterday we went out on my brother's boat. Jeromy, and the rest of the family for that matter, is so busy through the summer with watermelon, mum and other garden planting, that we hardly get the chance to go out during the week. But, the work was caught up and since they are fixing to start into a revival, we took the chance to head out to the waters. We had a blast! It was overcast and the wind was a little chilly at times, but at least it wasn't so hot and humid it was miserable. We had a picnic lunch on the boat, and the kids went tubing, fishing and swimming. Actually, Logan and Ashlee really fed the fish more that caught them...they were forever more needing new bait. Logan got so tired of having to ask Jeromy to put on a cricket, that she resorted to putting her gum on the hook! Did I mention that she's a blonde :o) Love her!!!

This is Matthew's excitement when I told him we were going out on the boat! Yes, he is signing boat and says it too!!!! He loves going out on the boat!

Jacob and cousin Garrett...Jacob loves him!

Matthew didn't get a turn, but we'll get another tube and go again!
Ashlee wants to get a Mable next time; she has backs to the seats.

Matthew didn't mind missing out on tubing...he took a nice, little nap :)

That's Matthew!
He sat up from his nap, grabbed a towel and covered his head like this!!

Swimming all alone!!

It was such a fun day! We've got to get in as much fun in the next few weeks as possible...school will be starting back in no time :(
