First Boat Trip

Last week my mom was able to get a last minute flight to come back to Michigan for a visit. Needless to say, this was a huge hit with the boys and very helpful to me. Turns out, Chris and I had quite a busy week planned and having my mom around really helped get us through.

On her last day here, she and my brother took the boys up to my Aunt Steph and Uncle Don's to go on their boat. Neither boys had been on a boat or gone swimming in a lake before, I've raised a couple of pool babies. We weren't sure how they would do and we were a little worried that Brenden might be too afraid to even go on the boat. Apparently after only about 10 minutes of getting comfortable, Brenden was happy to get on the boat and both boys had a great time. They each got turns driving the boat and they both swam for a bit in the lake. Below are some pictures my brother took of the day.
