Sunday was another perfect fall day full of sunshine, clear skies and cool breezes! A perfect day for taking the boat out. J had spent some time on it making repairs and he wanted to run it to see how it performed on the water.
Big Red ended up texting us while we were out to ask how the boat was running. He’s been dying to take a ride since we brought the boat home. Since it was running so well we offered to pick up Big Red and his boys up at a nearby boat ramp. All I have to say is that we need more girls around here… I was totally out numbered.
I couldn’t resist taking a “cousins shot” of the boys in their life jackets.
Once everyone was on board and we were underway, I turned on the stereo and started dancing with the boys to “I Like It” by Enrique Iglesias. Probably not the best lyrics for kids but it is a catchy tune nonetheless. It was so fun!
We ended up cruising down south to some spoil islands in the Indian River. The kids were so excited to play and explore!
We spent a lot of time playing Frisbee on the sandbar.
The boys did a little wading in the shallow water around the island.
I was glad that I packed lunch for us. We were starving!
The boys split their time evenly between running around on the island and running around on the boat 🙂 There were sandy little footprints everywhere!
Around 3:15 PM it was time to pack it in and head for home. Big Red had to get ready to work at his booth at Boo at the Zoo and our kids were getting tired.
Captain J pointed us north!
The kids retreated to the cabin for a while to play cars.
It was one of those awesome, carefree days that I will remember forever.
