Today was our first boating trip of the year! It was way fun but a little hard. We were breaking in Jacob and Breeann for our summer full of boat rides, and they kind of had a hard time. They both made sure someone was holding them at all times or they would though a fit. I held Breeann most of the time and she was clinging to me like a cat would when their scared. However towards the end and I really mean towards the end she started loosening up. Jacob wasn't bad he just was unsure of sitting by himself but when he was held he had a really good time. Hopefully next time they will do better which I'm sure they will



Ken was the only one that got in the water today, it was a pretty windy day so I had no desire to water ski I'm sure next time though.


This was Ken when he first got in the water. huuummm must be pretty cold.


Knee boarding:)



Ken wake boarding



Grandpa Joe came with us and he helped drive the boat around.


I don't drive the boat too often, I usually let Ken do all that but I decided to give it a go today.

Feeding ducks!


Jacob, Breeann and I went to feed ducks today. we had a really good time. Jacob can actually spend hours and possibly even days at a pond or lake throwing rocks and or whatever in it. It's funny to me how kids can be intertained by the simplest things in life. Breeann had fun too doing the same thing as Jacob ( she loves her brother and will do everything he does) she's like Jacob's "shadow" is a good way to put it in words. There were some really cute ducklings, they were really fun to watch

First time swimming.

So I took Jacob and Breeann swimming at the Vegetarians pool yesterday. I didn't take any pictures, yes I know I'm a bad mom. Anyway, I was completely surprised on how well they did. Jacob was dunking himself every chance he got and sometimes I would have to chase after him to stay close to me. I took him on the big slides a couple of times and he loved it! Breeann ( at first ) was really not into the water, I gave her about 45 min and then she was all over the place too. she would get dunked every now and then and I would have to sooth her for a minute and in no time she was right back out there playing on her own again. The slide she did not like. Oh well maybe I'll take her a few more times and perhaps she will like it by then.
