I took Taylor out in the boat for a few hours. She was sooo happy and perfect on the water. She liked her hair blowing in the wind as we drove up and down the river. She had fun splashing and kicking her hands and feet in the water. She really liked watching the other boats pull tubes. She thinks she is ready to be pulled on the tube. Then she wanted to try driving the boat. I set it up to a nice slow speed in a wide deep part of the river and gave her the wheel. She drove around in a couple figure 8′s then she wanted to watch people on the sand bar swimming and sun bathing. Maybe next time I will be able to talk Austin into going with and we could waste some time playing at the sandbar beach.

Taylor told me everything about the boat ride… over and over again.
(smiling Grandma here)
She was so excited to tell me all the things she had seen.& all the things she did….
Driving uncle Jim’s boat, kicking feet in the water, scooping up fish with the net. …
5 years old and I know this will be a day she will remember forever.
Great picture Jim..You can see she is smiling ear to ear.
