Captains Walter B. and Emmie P.

Last weekend we bought the kids new life jackets just in case they decided they would ride in the boat this summer. Walt really hates loud noises and until now cranking the motor of the boat sent him running the other way. We left the tags on the life jackets that were going back to Costco if Walt went running and had our back up plan for what the kids and I would do should they decide they were not going in the boat. On the way to put the boat in yesterday, Walt was so excited to go find the water. Then as Boyd was putting the boat in the water, Walt said, "I'm Captain Walter B, and I'm in charge of the ship!" While he was not in charge, he was the captain. He drove the boat with Boyd for most of the hour and 15 minutes we stayed out. Captain Emmie P did get a short turn of driving and she loved it too! Earlier in the day Boyd took Walt to Target to get the Superman fishing rod that he has had his eye on for a while now. So, Walt caught the little red fish that came with it at least 50 times while we were out. And each time it seemed to surprise him that he caught another red fish! It was an awesome day. We had so much fun!
