Boat Trip

Over Labor Day weekend Justin's Dad rented a boat so we could go hang out on the river. We had 10 people in the group plus Brooks. His parents purchased a life jacket for him which was more like a straight jacket. It said it fits 0-30 pounds, but I'm not sure a baby smaller than Brooks would fit in it without falling through the bottom.

We arrived at the dock half an hour before our launch time. Brook started getting fussy and I thought to myself, this isn't going to work. I had nearly convinced myself to head home, but everyone kept saying we could give it a try and just turn around if he started crying. Instead, I popped in his pacifier and that seem to settle him down. This could go one of two ways... it's either going to be fine or this could be a diaster. Thankfully, he ate twice and took two naps which meant he was quite a trooper.

We took a few pictures to mark his first boat ride. Yes, the life jacket practically swallowed him. And, yes... Justin and I sound like red necks in the video.
