A couple weeks ago, my friend Cindy invited us out onto her boat with her family one Saturday evening.

We had THE BEST time!

I know this is weird, but I’d never done this.

The whole boat on a lake thing…never.

(I don’t know why!  It’s like I actively avoided it accidentally.  Is that possible?  It is!)

So anyway, it was the most perfect summer night and my kids haven’t stopped talking about it since.

Tom and Everett were like two peas in a pod the whole time, and Alice acted like she’s been on boats since birth.

It was a blast!

Thanks Cindy and family!  We’re so thankful you took us out!

Tom was nervous to get on the tube with Daddy.  But then Alice said she wanted to do it, so Tom hopped right in and had a great time!  Gotta love that sibling rivalry.

Alice smiled the whole time.

Swimming!

Cindy safe in the float Alice insisted on bringing.

Boys!

Little captain.

Learning to drive.

Happiness.

Smiles!

Cuties.

It was one of our favorite summer memories for sure.

LOVE!
