• Water

  So we went boating today.  Quite the experience. Not altogether un pleasant except for the water part.  <sigh>  No, I’m not fond of water as a whole.  Particularly not nasty river water.  My first time Mom nature kept exerting itself in paranoia over the fact that there were no life vests small enough for the babies.  The fact that Steve and Paul were divers and EMT’s was the only thing that made me comfortable enough to go out there with them  I figured if the worst happened and they ended up in the water by accident they would be rescued in short order by someone other than me! lol

  Thankfully the day passed by without any human casualties.  Unfortunately our things were not so fortunate.  Apparently a freak wave came out of nowhere and washed across the boat soaking Noelle’s car seat, diaper bag and <sad sigh> our new camera!  We are trying to dry it out but all indications are that it is ruined.  I am so sad.  To be without a camera with such an adorable and fast changing baby is horrible to think about.  Don’t think I would mind it so much except that I have really enjoyed and gotten into the habit of picture taking!

  Ah well, maybe it will live again. 

  Steve dragged me out into the river to about waist deep.  Then he took Noelle swimming.  She kicked her legs a few times and then decided she was done and looked bored. 

  In spite of our wet things and my nervousness it was a fun day.   I hope we can do it again before the end of summer!  Am really enjoying making new friends in the area.
