oops.

I realized that I posted photos of Henry and I breaking the law.  At least I think it's a law?  Please know that while we probably weren't being lawful citizens, we were safe.  Very safe.  The pontoon boat has an old-as-shit motor that doesn't go very fast and we had several sober strong swimmers on board.  We also had a couple drunk strong swimmers on board but I did not take them into account when deciding whether or not they could save my son if something happened.  The lake is more of a fishing/cruising lake than a jet ski/speedboat lake so it was a nice, comfortable cruise without a certain 3-year-old claiming loudly that he couldn't breathe and/or move whilst wearing a pfd.  Also, I hadn't seen a cop on the water all weekend.  Bonus.

zzzzzz....

Henry refused to nap while on a mini-vacation this holiday weekend.  We quickly found that his no-nap-stubborness was no match for the hum of the pontoon boat motor. 

Saturday night...

And Sunday night...

He loooooves the water.  He has a new best friend, the person that took him jet skiing AND swimming.  That new best friend would not be me because the water temperature was barely 60 degrees.  After Henry jumped in the water the first time I asked him if it was cold and he couldn't answer me.  It was so cold it took his breath away.  Then it was impossible to get him out of the water because he was having so much fun.  I made him get out when I realized those perfect lips of his had turned blue, and not from eating a blue popsicle.  Vacation with the boy is exhausting and so worth it.
