Ahoy Mateys!

We had a great day yesterday with our friend Rich (The Don) and his daughters Alexa (9) and Ella (6 1/2) at the lake on their boat....

Jenna and Alexa....getting ready to board the boat!

Mommy and Ryan...

Someone was rather excited!

Jenna, Alexa and Ella enjoying a little lunch on the lake...


all suited up and ready to swim!


Ryan....getting the hang of floating....

as expected...he LOVED it!

Rich and Jenna swimming

What I saw every time he climbed out of the water....tounge out...

and a HUGE SMILE!

Ella putting her lifejacket on "diaper style"...

Peek a boo!
Ryan's lifejacket had a handy little handle on the back...

Daddy and Jenna just floating on a lazy Saturday...

Jenna even drove the boat!


...as did Ella...

and even RYAN got to drive! (sort of....we were actually not moving at the time but he had no clue)



Mommy and Jenna (making a goofy face!)
Mommy and her babies.... (hard to get them to sit still for a quick picture)


TALL Ella and Jenna

Self portrait time!

Jim and Rich have been good friends since law school. Rich was one of Jim's groomsmen!


Jenna driving again....poor Daddy!

Rich and his girls....

Ryan also enjoyed opening and closing the clasps on the lifevests...

Wow...a rare family portrait (and we're ALMOST all looking at the camera!)
It was a great way to spend the day!
