fun in water

For a three day weekend, we fit a lot into it.  My Beloved and I took Small Mister out in my boat for the first time.  I have been really wanting to go row but the logistics have been interesting between work schedules, weather, and the small boy.  But, we figured out my boat can go into the Suburban which then means we have a car seat.  Off to rowing we go.  

I did not get any pictures but it was hilarious.  Small Mister kept looking at us like "where are you taking that and why is it going in the truck?"  When the boat went into the water, his face was even more concerned.  I thought he was going to fuss when we put him in the boat.  But then Grandpoppa and Grandmomma were there with him. Off we went!  There was much fun to be had.  I would have probably liked to have been out longer but Small Mister got tired.  He also kept me from hurting myself.

On Monday, there was surf.  The whole family went.  The Tall Short Person took this picture.  I held my board while My Beloved help the Small Mister balance.  You would have thought we had given him the world with the smiles and laughter he had.  

I realized I need to spend more time on the water.  Either a board or a boat.  It just helps me to relax.   I laughed at myself because I realized I could have my life revolve around rowing, surfing, gardening, baking bread, and growing flowers.  What an odd combination!  There would be tea and books in there as well, with a bit of sewing.  Which reminds me, new surfboard bags with shoulder straps needs to go on the sewing list!

gone rowing

My boat came today!

I am so excited that I can hardly wait until tomorrow.  We are going rowing.  Then, we are going to our friends who have a lake house to go rowing some more.  So, if you do not hear from me tomorrow, you know I tuckered myself out something fierce.

Best birthday present to myself ever!
