What our family considers FUN!!

It feels like once you ave kids you settle into the "routine" the same things everyday....and they usually go in the exact same order everyday!!! That's what you do when you have kids, you keep them on a schedule so they know what to expect day to day or at least you do your best to try. When you decide to do something out of the norm it can be very exciting, and for us a day at the lake on our boat is just what we need sometimes :) Before we had kids we were on our boat at least twice a week during the summer, we put endless hours on our boat since we got it in 2006. That all came to a screeching halt when little Ashlee came along!! Even though her first boat ride was around 7 weeks old those days were far and few between. It just became to much work for us to get to the lake!! We even contemplated selling it at times but couldn't bring ourselves to do it, there are just too many memories in that boat for us.Yesterday we decided we have the day off...yeah we should do stuff around the house, help prepare for the baby, grocery shop..etc...but we decided to let all that go and head to the lake. We knew Ashlee has a love for this as much as we do :) all the way there "mommy daddy Ashlee's boat...fast" she said those words almost all the way there. Once we got there and got in the boat she told us she was soooo happy to be on the boat. She was an absolute perfect angel the entire time..laughing, smiling, yelling whoo-oo with me on the bow of the boat, it was an awesome day!!! We are so happy she loves the boat so much because this is one of most favorite things to do. This is the first time bringing her to the lake we felt she really enjoyed herself, it always felt like to much work up until this point!! Now hopefully Baby G will enjoy this boat as much as the 3 of us do!!!
