Boating Fun

On Tuesday afternoon, Maddie and I dropped Liam off to spend the afternoon with Grandma so we could go boating with Heidi and Kyle. Maddie had a GREAT time! Before we got on the boat we had a picnic lunch McDonald's style on the dock at Kyle's parents house. The whole time we were eating Maddie kept saying "I so ex-cited!"

This is Maddie at home before we left.

Maddie liked riding on the boat with Aunt Heidi. As you can see, she likes wearing the Garfield life jacket. She was a little unsure of the boat when Kyle sped up outside of the Wake Zone for the first time, but after a couple of minutes, she was loving the ride.

Maddie, Kyle, and Heidi got off of the boat for a swim. I was surprised that Maddie wanted to get the water. I thought she might be a little scared because it is a lot bigger than our swimming pool, but she loved it also. She was floating on her back and trying to swim back and forth from Heidi and Kyle.

QUOTE OF THE DAY! While Maddie, Heidi, and Kyle were swimming the quote of the day came. Maddie looked to the other side of the lake and saw the beach area. She looked at Kyle and Heidi and said, "I swim to the beach now." and tried to take off swimming. The next picture shows how far we were from the lake. We later drove the boat to the beach.

I even took my turn at tubing! What fun!

Maddie enjoyed swimming at the beach also. She had a great time and she can't wait to take Liam along next year!
