Boat Ride

So I went on my first pontoon ride; it was interesting. Aunt Karen and Aunt Dan invited us out with Aunt Karen's parents, Carl and Susan. Mommy and Daddy had thought we might go that weekend, but we hadn't gotten me a lifejacket yet. Luckily, Carl and Susan had one for me to use. Daddy put it on the couch, and wrangled me into it. It was a very strange experience, like a car seat only weirder.





After getting over the initial shock of the thing, I got a little irritated by it. Well, I was a bit tired, so maybe that added to my crankypants attitude. Once we got on the pontoon, the hum of the motor sent me right into Dreamland (where I could forget about that straight...er, lifejacket)...for a while.









I woke up suddenly, and was very confused by where I was...and this contraption I was in?! Mommy tried to comfort me as best she could, but I just wanted out of that jacket for some cuddling. Didn't get my wish, but she kept talking to me and rubbing my back. Daddy got my bottle ready since it was well past time for me to eat, and I was wanting that too.










Today, I can laugh at how the bottle looks wedged into the lifejacket, but that day it wasn't so funny. Actually, I was so upset by the whole experience, that the second I finished eating, I projectiled a bunch back out...if you know what I mean. Unfortunately, I didn't hit anyone else. Instead, it was all down the front of that darned lifejacket, inside and out.





Hopefully, the next ride will be much better!
