"Row Boat"

At the house in Clear Lake, there was a big yellow kayak. The boys, being very fond of the "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" nursery rhyme, decided this was a row boat.  I stand corrected.  They were very intrigued by the row boat, and after watching Daddy and Uncle Ryan take a ride in it, they wanted to participate too!

The boys were impressed, although Owen is doing his best not to show it.



Uhh, Mommy, over here!  It's my turn.



Pretty please, Mama? Or as Jack sometimes likes to call me, "Mamoo." I think Mark put him up to this...very funny!



Geez, this is taking forever.  Don't Mommy and Daddy know it's not gonna row itself?



After all that, this is all I get? I have to just sit here tied to the doc?? So unfair.  Although, kind of comfy!



This is just fine with me!



And the little boys weren't the only ones the row boat entertained. Daddy, Uncle Ry, and Grandpa had a little competition going between them to see who could paddle out to a buoy and back the fastest. While we were there, Daddy was the winner by a narrow margin (with a little controversy surrounding his winning time). Uncle Ry, however, gave it another run after Daddy left, and beat him by a few seconds. Here's Daddy paddling hard!



Go, Daddy, go!!!
