Alex and Holly came to town this weekend. So, of course, we had to go on the boat.
I’m sorry! Are you confused? Do you not know who Alex and Holly are?
Alex is David’s brother. Holly is his beloved. Please try to keep up.
And, no. We do not have a boat. But Jack and Lisa do. And Lisa is David’s sister. Is it all coming together for you? Hmmm? HMMMM?
Yes. A boat ride. Here are some photos to capture this special event in time.
You’re welcome.
Here is David insisting he can fit into this life jacket.
Which is made for a child. And isn’t just a little sad that he has to tighten the straps? Yes?
But at least he is being safe!
David, Alex, and Jack had some sort of bet going on for their tube ride.
They look a bit goofy. They are super manly in real life though. Promise.
They had some sort of contest to see who could last the longest on the tube. In the spirit of all things safe, the boys (or men . . . you be the judge) would push each other off. While the boat is moving mind you. The last person on the tube was declared the winner. And everyone always wants to be the winner. I think Jack won because he was the last person actually on the tube. But David said his hand was always touching the tube and, even though he was in the water, he pushed Jack off the tube and declared himself the winner.
But I think Jack won.
Of course if David actually reads this blog post, I would like the records to show that David is totally the winner. He is awesome.
Look!
That is a bay.
You may ask, “Taylor! What is so special about that there bay?”
Well. 14 years ago, David took me on a boat ride and proposed to be in that very bay.
So, there you go.
Sweet Pea: driving the boat like a champ.
Fear not, Worry Warts! Jack was closely monitoring.
Alex and Daisy Mae were like two peas in a pod on their tube ride.
For reasons unbeknownst to me, Alex would randomly put his legs in the air. As you can clearly see in the photo above.
They had a good time.
Alex and Holly’s dog, Cruise, also enjoyed the boat ride.
He stayed on top of the boat like that the entire time.
Will wonders never cease?
Happy Tuesday!
that looks like so much fun. Perhaps Alex is secretly in a syncronized swimming club and is practicing his sweet moves when he lifts his legs up.
Also, I don’t know how to spell syncronized.
Is that a, dare I say it, SMILE on David’s face…or was the sun just in his eyes?
Uhhmmm that was David in the first photo??? Are you sure??? That man looked like he had a smile on his face. LOL
Um, you share a picture of David trying on a life jacket that’s too small and don’t post a flashback of Alex in the kids’ life jacket? I’m so disappointed.
Yeah – what Melissa K said!! I was thinking the same thing!
Your daughter looks so grown up driving that boat. We had a boat when we lived in Maryland and we miss those days. We all love being on the water, but I don’t tube. I am the person who worries about the people on the tube. Somebody’s got to!
Looks like ya’ll had a lot of fun! I have a feeling that your Lumberjack’s family is quite a riot. And I can’t believe how big your kids are getting! : )
Looks like lots of fun! David always wins, one way or another. Thanks for sharing. Lake and sunshine look gorgeous.
You live in such a beautiful area. I hope to see it one day. Wish you had an Army post close.
First time commenting, but I love your blog. Your animal stories usually have me laughing out loud in the middle of the workday at my desk. Just wanted to know what kind of dog Cruise is? I just recently started fostering (for a Rescue Group) a Tree Walker Coon Hound and Plott Hound mix and she looks a lot like Cruise
