Row Your Boat

We like to be outside, A LOT, so naturally we thought it'd be fun to rent a canoe one sunny afternoon for the boys to enjoy. What a great idea--let me tell you! 

Often times we take the boys to walk/run around Lady Bird hike/bike trail, but our James has never been ON the lake before. Since his older brother is such a pro at all things water related, Jackson took the ropes this time around and showed James all about a canoe (or what little he knows).

He made sure to tell James and I to, "not touch" the 'peddles' (paddles) because only him and Dada were going to row our boat.  

James and I didn't mind. We were too busy taking pictures anyways...

 It was a successful trip in my books. I mean, I did have to keep James from jumping over the boat the ENTIRE time, but he thoroughly enjoyed the ride. So did Jackson, he managed to stick to the 'peddling' for the entire canoe trip without getting tired!

We decided to celebrate the successful boat ride with oysters, champagne and a banana pancake for the boys. WIN!
