Trey and Charlotte went on their first boat ride on Sunday afternoon. Our Sunday School class has tried to be intentional about getting all the girls together and all the guys together every other month for some time to hang out. With most of us having young kids, it is hard to build relationships together outside of church so girls time and guys time has been something we each look forward to each month(and the other spouse is in charge of the kids!). So far the girls have done dinner and a movie, pedicures and lunch, and dinner at the Homeplace. The guys have done hiking, a Salem Red Sox game, and skeet shooting. Now looking at it the guys events are more active and the girls events all involve food!
Sunday was a girl's day and we were supposed to go on a boat ride around Smith Mountain Lake, but only 3 girls could go, so we decided to bring our families along. We ate lunch all together at a Mexican restaurant after church.

| Both the kids love Mexican food. Charlotte kept licking the salsa off her chip and dipping the chip back in the bowl. We gave her her own bowl of salsa. |
Then we headed for the lake. It was only about 15 minutes from church and Charlotte got in a short nap on the way. She was kinda sleepy for first part of the ride so she just chilled with her paci and blanket on the boat. I had to take them away to put on her lifejacket (which she hated!) and then give them back to sooth her because she kept trying to tear the life jacket off.

| Charlotte sat in my lap most of the trip, but at the end she kept wanting to walk around the back of the boat and then sit on the seat by herself and hold on. |
 |
| Trey didn't get off Jay's lap until we docked, but you can tell he had fun! |
Trey was very excited before we got to the lake, but like any new thing it took him a while to feel comfortable and get warmed up. He also was not a fan of the life jacket at first but it grew on him. He liked to see the people fishing on the lake and all the other boats on the docks.
