#270 - Boat Show

The Boat Show was in Jacksonville this past weekend, so we loaded up the boys and headed south to check it out.  And, the bonus was that Dad (Grandfather) was in Jacksonville too, so the boys and us got to spend some much needed time with him.  He works so hard, and so far away, that it's a rare treat to see him!

The Boat Show was fun.  We got to "dream" a bit, and picked out three or four boats that would work just perfectly for our family....  Ha!  I distinctly remember saying in 2007 that if we were still living in Savannah in five years, we'd have a house on the water and a boat on the dock. It was easier said than done!  That was before kids and before real estate values dropped.  The reality is that right now, it's hard to find the time to rightfully enjoy a boat.  One day soon, though!  (Lou, this is now in writing)

Aunt Kay, Papa and baby Joey also went to the Boat Show with us.  Baby Joey slept through the entire thing.  What a good baby he is!

After the Boat Show, we went back to Aunt Kay's boat at The Landing, and hung out there for the afternoon.  My mom and Jen were able to meet us there, so the boys had an extra dose of family time.  It is a real blessing that our boys have such a close relationship with all of their family.  We don't take that for granted.  

We got to play with baby Joey:

And, Owen got to fish off the back of the boat.  He even caught a fish!

Meanwhile, Benjamin was passed out on the bed!  Ha ha!
