Maiden Voyage

Our boat was delivered this past Friday and we took it out Friday night for our first family trip.  We took the boat over to Kemah and had a rushed dinner to try and make it back to the marina before sunset.  Finley was not a happy camper when we went shopping for her life jacket.  She was not a fan, even the pink life jacket couldn't win her over.  We settled on a red and blue octopus jacket.  When we arrived at the boat on Friday, Finley was still insisting that she wouldn't wear the life jacket.  Once we got it on her, along with a lollipop bribe, she was so overwhelmed with boat excitement, that she didn't even care about wearing a life jacket.  She did great!  She insisted on sitting on my lap whenever the boat went fast.  Her favorite part was the no wake zone in the Kemah Pass, just her speed.  We took the boat out on Saturday morning and had a picnic lunch on Galveston Bay.  We also went out on Sunday night and went up to explore Taylor Lake.  Finley loves her new boat.
