today daddy took mommy & me for a little boat-ride on one of the neighborhood lakes. we did not stay out long, mostly because of the thunderstorm that was coming. but i ReALLy wanted to get out of the boat and INto the water!! i was able to put my hands in the water over the side of the boat & mommy *securely* hung onto my life jacket. it may be a while before mommy & daddy take me on the boat again though... maybe we'll just go swimming next time!
