First Boating of the Year

Last week my parents decided to take me and my kids out on the boat on Echo. I was just planning on having them go for a ride in the boat and fish a little, but my dad and daughter had different plans. They decided they just HAD to go out on the tube. Zoey couldn't let Maizy have all the fun and started to cry that she wasn't going. Talk about a nervous wreck having my 2 little girls out in the middle of the reservoir with just my dad on a water toy. Maizy's new life jacket doesn't have straps between her legs and Zoey still didn't have good control of herself in water in a life jacket. All turned out well and my girls were safe and sound after 2 different rides. My sanity returned after they were safely back in the boat-especially after the 2nd time when Maizy wanted to get out and swim. We told her the water was just too cold and to just get in the boat. Well, she bailed out anyway by herself when we were pulling them in. She got a little shock and had a hard time catching her breath in the 67 degree water! Too bad I didn't have a picture of this, but I was tending to Zander and missed the opportunity! :(
