First Boat Ride

On Saturday we decided to catch a ride to Middendorf's with Uncle EJ, Aunt Cathy, moma & daddy on the boat. Everyone was going. Aunt Brenda, Uncle Paul, Katie, Justin & Brittany were in another boat and Uncle Scott and Erick were in a third boat. This was my kids first boat ride outside of huge boats that barely move. Elena was a little worried when we were leaving the house. She was nervous about the life jacket. I don't know why, but she has always had a fear of boats. Once we got to the dock, all of the worries left her. She was super excited about going. So we suited her up in her little pink life jacket and the suited Landon up in a red one. He could barely see out of it when he was sitting. Once the boat started they were both perfectly fine. Once the boat picked up speed, Grandma freaked out and so did Landon. He completely froze. His eyes were squeezed shut and his arms were frozen out. He didn't move once until the boat slowed down in the no-wake zones. Everytime we would slow down, he would pop his little head out of his life jacket like a turtle. He liked it while we were barely moving. Elena on the other hand, LOVED it the entire time. She is going to be my little daredevil and Landon is going to be my reserved one. She wanted to see everything and do everything. She even got to take a turn driving the boat. Everytime we would hit a wave she would say "That was a good one. Hit another bump." She acts WAAAYY too much like Barrett. They both make me a nervous wreck. Of course though, first boat ride and mommy forgot to charge the camera batteries so no pictures. I will get some next time.
