First Boating Excursion

Last Sunday Jake, Jamie, Brian, Nolan and myself took "Miss Behaving" (the name will change) on her first trip! We had a blast. Nolan looked like a marshmellow with his life jacket and it took me the first half of the trip to get out of panic mode with him being in the boat. But we had a blast. Nolan was mad at first because of the life vest, but immediately fell asleep. When we would stop he would wake up and that's when he realized he loved boating! We saw dolphins just feet from our boat...even baby dolphins. It was beautiful and amazing. I didn't think I would swim, because it's the ocean and there are sharks and other biting critters. But there is a place near Destin called Crab Island and its only a few feet deep and you can see everything...the water is clear as a bell. So we anchored there and all took a dip (except Nolan, we figured we would ease him into things slowly). We docked and ate lunch at this awesome little hole in the wall place...it was completly casual, right on the water with food that was out of this world. The four of us looked at each other a few times thorughout the day and said, "It feels like we're on vacation!" Here are some pictures! If you look really close, in the 2nd pic at Jake in the background, you'll see that him and Brian have on...could it be? Matching shirts! How adorable! More pics to follow....

While home Dad is giving Brian some boat care and boating tips as he used to work at a marina in his younger days down on the river at Holiday Harbor. Of course had a scary story to tell about falling overboard and his boss didn't know it and got back to the harbor without him and thought he had drowned. Lucky he was a strong swimmer.
