While we were leaving the dock, starting our boat ride, Chris said that the kids had to put on their life jackets? I was like... huh? Life jackets? The boat isn't going to sink, and if it does start to sink we can put the life jackets on in a jiffy. But noooooooo........ Chris insisted on the life jackets, and said if the kids are under a certain age it's a law they have t wear them. So, on went the life jackets. Chad was so irritated by the big life jacket, and Maddie was over it before it even went on. Chris proceeded to say not to go too far out in the bay because the kids will probably not last long. I was like, no no no, the kids will be fine, why wouldn't they love this beautiful day on the bay? We went back and forth on how he thought we should turn around and start heading back, while me and my mom proceeded to say the kids will be fine, let's keep on going. Well, after about 20 min., Maddie and Chad started to get ancy and cranky. Not sure if it was all the talk about how cranky they were going to be, and that is why they got cranky, or if they were truly over it and wanted to go back. Anyway, it's funny to think back on it, but at the time it was a little crazy. And then when we went to dock the boat, the guy (my mom's neighbor) didn't steer the boat in right and ended up ramming into another boat and the plexi-glass broke.
Here's some pic's of that day on the bay... I was able to get a few happy pictures before the meltdowns hit :)
