Boating

The day after the fair, we were invited to go out on our friends' boat.  The beginning of the trip was a little crazy because both Jaron and Shaylee were scared to get on the boat and of course one of us had to hold Maycee, We finally calmed them down and got them on the boat and they got used to and were fine.  It was a little cool and choppy, but Kenyon decided to try and knee board and he was able to get up and did such a great job!  Brandon wasn't quite as successful, but he got really anxious when he was in the water and I think that is why he struggled.  After knee boarding we headed to a beach that had this great big sand hill the kids could climb.  They loved it and Jaron had a great time making a castle with Pete.  The kids played in the water and had so much fun.  Once we were done with beach we headed back out on the boat and went tubing.  Shaylee loved the tube!  I was surprised at how brave she was, because it was pretty bouncy and choppy out there.  The boys had a great time on the tube as well.  It was such a fun day and the kids had a blast!  Thank you, Reids for inviting us!
