First Boat Trip of the Year

Today we took the boat out for the very first time this year. We just took a quick trip over to Cooney Resevoir, and it was a lot of fun...EXTREMELY busy, though. I guess you sort of have to expect it to be busy when the forecast shows low 80's, and it really happens. This was also Blake's very first trip out on the boat. She did really well. We made her a little area that we shaded with a beach towel, so she could nap...it was supposed to be her nap time. Anyway, she decided to laugh, play and chat the whole time instead of even attempting a nap. Here she is in her onboard "tent" that we created for her.And, here she is still NOT napping.Amazingly enough Blake's worst part of the whole trip was putting on her sunscreen. You'd thought it was absolutely horrible by her reaction, but she quickly calmed down and started talking. We really have a little jabber jaws on our hands. Needless to say, the dogs were very excited to get to come along, and they both seemed to have a lot of fun.Poor Maddie had a little trouble finding shade and was getting pretty hot at first, but Copa was her normal fishing self. Here she is watching a line for us. She's such a little fisherman!
The mountains still have a lot of snow on them, so we had some pretty nice views while we were out on the lake.We didn't stay out too long, but it sure was a nice little day trip. And, guess what happened on the way home...Someone was a little tuckered out! Hope you all had wonderful weekends as well. Ours seemed to be just right.

We can't wait for our first trip out on the boat, too! Looks like a lot of fun. Hope we can get together soon. It seems like forever! Say, what was your cousin going to Portland for? We're headed out there the end of July. Love, Jess
