CHEESE!!!
Ready to be out on the water!
Look mom! A birdy!!
Yeah, we see it buddy.
Yep, a bird.
Everyone arrived and we all got our life jackets on and we were off!
Karl took us out.
This handsome driver.
The kids were all super excited.
The girls are so cute… but can we just take a second to look at Lucas. WHY WHY WHY is he so freaking cute?? Look at those shorts! 
The first little bit on the boat was slow, and the kids were excited to look over the side.
Once we got out of port and into open water…
We made sure the kids we safe…
Then Karl let her rip!
Me and my perfect boy!!
Betsy with her ladies!
Betsy took a turn!
Karl took this chance to put his feet in the water.
HEY!
I decided to take a set and enjoy the water too.
Betsy-with her sweet little co-pilot.
She wanted to drive the boat, all by herself.
We aren’t worried.
These kids!!!
Lucas with Zombie cheeto face. Sweetie.
Nick took his turn.
Trying to balance the boat.
So he handed it to him.
At this point the sun had all but disappeared and we were getting chilly.
Mirah put her sweater on OVER her life jacket.
Karl’s glasses…
Lucas was loving it!
We were not loving the way he would jump so high…it seemed that he was about to jump out of the boat.
The wind picked up and it really started to get cold!
We ate our lunch. And had a few laughs. Nick and the girls:
Lucas at the wheel.
The evolution of an okay family photo.
I got a shot to drive!
Then the birds arrived.
We told the group about when we fed birds off of the back of the cruise ship. So the kids started throughing food.
Then more birds arrived.
Then more.
They ended up chancing us around the lake.
During one of Nick’s evasive maneuvers he turned, and a wave of water splashed up and SOAKED Rosy.
