First Outing

Ryan has been working for a couple of weeks now to get the boat ready for the summer. He has detailed the boat, fixed the trailer, insured and registered the boat. So today was the day for us to take it out on the water. We wanted to check out Guist Creek to see if it would be a good place for us to water ski this summer. We were both nervous for our first outing. Ryan did great towing the boat and getting it into the water. I did fine pulling the trailer out of the water and parking it. However, the hard part came when we tried to get the boat out of the water. I was the one driving the boat up to the trailer and Ryan made sure I was centered. Well, I wasn't very good at this. It took me a couple of tries but after Ryan got wet up to his waist it seemed to finally work. I guess through practice we will perfect the system.

We had a lot of fun on the boat. We just drove around to check out the area. It is really beautiful with lots of trees. Not my Snake River Canyon that I'm use to but gorgeous just the same. We brought Aidan's fishing pole so the kids could fish a little bit. They thought it was awesome! Lacey was so funny. After we first took off in the boat past the no wake zone, it was a teeny bit chilly and Lacey yelled "Someone turn up the heat!" Also after we were all done she asked everyone individually "Did you have a good time on the boat?" It made me laugh.
Just so you know Cassidy wasn't that uncomfortable the whole time. I was holding her most the time. She loved having the wind blowing on her feet and hair. It was cute.
