Boat Rides, Rice Cereal and Monkeys!
Posted by Ida , Sunday, May 30, 2010
Bags and the cooler were packed and ready to go to Chautauqua soon after Madelyn woke up from her morning nap. Everyone, including Duke, were in the van ready to head out to the lake, as a family, the first time this year!
The ride went well. Duke was calmer than normal due to a couple Benadryl pills. Madelyn dosed off for a little while (not part of the plan, but oh, well) and William watched a movie. Mommy and Daddy, of course, had to stop for their life line: Tim Horton's. It was a good drive. Mommy realized they forgot William's life jacket, which will actually become Madelyn's this year. A stop at Wal Mart was in order. William is now a proud owner of a toddler life jacket!
It was a gorgeous day. The Matt Butwin family arrived first. Then Mimi and Papa and Andrew. There was some quick yard work done by the guys and lunch before the fun began. Madelyn had to borrow a life jacket from the neighbors for her first EVER boat ride! It was Mickey Mouse, someone who she will come to appreciate a little later in life. Madelyn didn't like getting the jacket on and fussed a bit, but was fast asleep in just about 2 minutes after the boat left the dock.
Daddy also tried his new wake skate. He did an awesome job considering he hasn't been in the water for quite awhile. Looking good!
Madelyn tried rice cereal for the first time today! Kind of messy. She didn't know what to think of it, but definitely enjoyed playing with the spoons.
William has learned his first song and he put on a show for the family. Five Little Monkeys has never been cuter!
Mommy, Daddy, Mimi and Papa had a good time catching up after Madelyn and William were in bed for the night.
