Boating :)

Finally!! We were finally able to go boating before summer comes to an end. Our friend Jason offered to take us all boating yesterday after we got off work. At first, Jon didn't think he had time to run home after work, gather all of our gear, pick Barrett up from Daycare and make it out to the boat launch in time to really enjoy an evening on the water. He called me at work to get my opinion. I knew how much Barrett would love it so we decided to go ahead and give it a shot.

Jon and Barrett headed out before I was off of work and enjoyed a little 'guy' time along with Jason and his brother Matt. I got off work at 5pm, grabbed McDonald's and met the boys on the Willamette. When I got to the dock for them to pick me up I could hear Barrett yelling from the boat "french fries!" He knew I was bringing McDonald's and has grown to absolutely LOVE french fries. I can't say that I blame him! I got on the boat and off we went, slowing down to feed some ducks a few fries. That of course was very exciting to Barrett, he would have been perfectly content just feeding the ducks all evening long. Jon was able to do some wake boarding and then we parked the boat at the beach for a bit. Barrett loved playing with sticks and throwing rocks into the water.

It turned out to be a great evening. Jon and I were both very glad Barrett was able to experience a fun, spontaneous evening on the river!

Close up of his face as he was driving the boat...he took it very seriously
