We have been trying to go boating at least once a week and finally some of the kids are adding to their repertoires and moving beyond just riding in the tubes and on the hotdog.
We managed to convince Jonas to try skiing again, and as you can see, he was very happy with himself.
Shawn has always had many skills, but I was particularly impressed when he was able to get up on the surfboard with Amelia and Samantha (separately). Yes, Amelia is wearing goggles. Last week when she fell in she decided she got too much water up her nose so she wore goggles and was all ready to plug her nose this time, but she didn't even get the top of her head wet.
A rare, collective moment of happiness and harmony. (One of the reasons we like the boat.)
Samantha on flag duty. (According to the law, the flag holder must be at least 8 years old - she reminds us of this anytime we let one of the little girls hold it.)
Peter enjoying the ride.
Duffy "pretending to be the Mom". She's been paying attention because she knew about moving the throttle and made sure everyone was in their lifejackets.
Everyone seems to enjoy just hanging out on the boat and relaxing in the sunshine. (Eating good food helps, too.)

Your kids are the perfect age for a boat. I will have to show Andrew these pictures. He wants a boat today!! It looks like the boat is paying off.
