A lesson in boating.

We had been asked by the youth of the church if we could take them out water skiing this Friday. Ryan was going to be gone but I said I would do it anyway. I feel comfortable driving the boat but not hitching, launching or driving the trailer. So tonight was my first extensive lesson. I learn something each time we go out but this time I watched everything and asked lots of questions. I drove the trailer down to the river and backed the boat into the water. That was quite stressful. I did it though. I also pulled the boat home and backed it into our driveway. Such a tricky process that I took for granted. I feel like it will be a big task to do this all alone but I am up to the challenge!


(p.s. The activity got cancelled because the docks were under water after a huge storm and the river was filled with debris. I was kind of sad but mostly relieved.)

Cassidy won our hearts.

And I love those fun rip roaring pics of Aidan and lacey. So so cute.

I miss your babies. A lot.

I'm glad that it rained so that you could take one more thing off your to do list last week. At least you learned how to drive the boat!
