Memorial Day

We spent our holiday weekend - and Sloane's first boat trip! - at Pineview. The weather was a little better than expected but the snow capped mountains in the background should let you know that the water was, uh, chilly (yeah - 50 degrees!).

This was our first trip of the season, first trip with 2 kids, and the first time we've had the boat slipped anywhere but Powell so it was definitely different!

The scenery was really beautiful and we loved waking up in the morning to the birds "singing" on the slip buoys. Scott's work crew was awesome and treated us like family - lots of great food and fun in the lodge, in their gorgeous RVs and on the boats. They have a couple of cute dogs that Tagg just loved. Tagg and Sloane were both wonderful all weekend.

Even though we changed a gazillion diapers, carted down a semi-full of gear, and were up all night between feedings and sharing a bed with a 2 year old who kicks, it was awesome! It's amazing how it just gets better and better! We brought some movies and magazines so we could catch up but ended up watching Cars the movie and playing with Cars the cars. A lot. It was actually pretty cute and gave us all ample Sloane-snuggly time.

Amy and Dustin came up on Monday with Greyson and Henry which was fun. Welcome to life with three boys!

Sure, we never left the slips but the boys had a ball dive-bombing off the shelf into pillows and wrestling, feeding fish and birdies, and driving the boat. Scott's work-family had their kids too and they were very cute - and very brave! They jumped in the 50 degree water about 6 times so we could get pictures. I hope they don't get sick but the pictures (and the bragging rights!) were well worth it!





Tagg is really not into wearing hats right now which is tough since he's so blond. We tried every hat - cowboy hats, bandanas, visors, ball caps, a bowl (just kidding). Luckily, lots of sunscreen makes for a good 'do!


And he's fine wearing his sunglasses which he calls "shades." It's funny - he'll point at hats and say "mommy's hat, daddy's hat" but put one on his head? He repeats "Awww...cute" and then yanks it off. At least he'll keep the shades on, as long as he has binky and daddy!
