.1st boat ride.

Today we had so much planned and it all went out the window.  My parents are coming for a visit on Monday so we had hoped to get the playroom sanded, cleaned, primed and painted before they came.  Our friend is coming tomorrow to put in the new carpets so now we are really under the gun to get it all done in the morning. But skipping out on our never ending list of things to do to go boating with friends on Alouette Lake was totally worth it! The weather was absolutely beautiful and we had an amazing time. Nyah was such a good sport! Poor little thing couldn't move her head or bend her arms in the life jacket. She looked so uncomfortable and so ridiculously cute at the same time.

This was her first time out on a boat and I was a little nervous at the whole idea. I'm a super strong swimmer but the fear of something happening and her ending up in the water was terrifying to me. I think Shawn could tell I was a little nervous and took it nice and easy out on the boat. It ended up being such an enjoyable day. Floating, chatting and basking in the sun. I always find being near or on the water so peaceful.

Shawn and Jenn's little guy Ayden was so much fun too! He's such a good boy with the sweetest giggle you have ever heard. I love that he was so easily influenced to squirt Jay with the water gun! Any kid that will team up with me against Jay is number one in my books... lol.

After spending the afternoon on the boat both Nyah and Ayden fell asleep. Of course Ayden slept like an angel and Nyah woke up after half an hour! Luckily the sound of the engine and the long trip back to the dock put her out again.

We got home around dinner time and because the 3 of us were so exhausted we decided to just order a pizza. I'm so tired as I'm writing this and tomorrow we have another super fun day ahead of us. It's Nyah's boyfriend, Brody's first birthday! We can't wait to celebrate with them!
