OK... back to our maiden voyage. As usual, Thomas was excited for his chance to use his fishing rod & do lots of casting. Abby, on the other hand, had no idea what was coming her way. That's because this too was her maiden voyage on a boat.
Its really a shame that there are no Kodack moments to prove what a fighter she is... the girl would have nothing to do with the life jacket. Now, we have been down this road before with Thomas both when we first introduced him to a "boat jacket" and when he went out on his first boat trip, but looking back now... there is a significant age difference between them & when they experienced this "Heck-Must." Abbigail is 14-months old. Thomas on the other hand, had just turned 2 years old the month before his trip. Wow... I guess we just moved Abby right along without much extra thought. 
As for the illegal part of this trip... she just wasn't having ANY part of the lifejacket. So... Mommy & Daddy caved and took it off of her. I know... big no-no. We are already thinking of Plan "B" for the next trip. Of course, I had to have her right next to me the whole time (but most of that time was spent eating snacks and drinking her juice box). I have to say though... she enjoyed the wind in her face and seeing all the ducks along the way.
Daddy & Thomas doing their thing
Abby being attentive and taking mental notes on its all done. That, or she is trying to figure out how she can jump into the water. Oh, this little girl will be giving me gray hairs soon for sure.
The Captain... enjoying his boat and the water.
