Row, Row, Row Your Boat


On Friday we went to Big 5 and bought a 3 person inflatable boat and a pair of oars, then headed to Leslie Groves to take it out on the river. We rowed out to the island, where the kids picked snake grass, and chased after beetle looking things. Alyssa and I went out and swam in the water for a bit, after we found an area not taken over with sea weed. Usually, when we play by the river, Ethan and I have this conversation:

Ethan: Are there harks?

Carrie: No, there's aren't any sharks.

Ethan: Are there hocadiles?

Carrie: No, there aren't any crocodiles.

But this time, he didn't ask any questions, he just jumped in the boat, ready to go. Marcus, on the other hand, was very unsure of the whole thing. He's not a big water person, but he does end up enjoying it once he's used to the idea.
