Water Babies

We took the kiddos to visit my parents in California and had a great time on the farm, but the highlight of the trip were the weekends spent on the houseboat.
even Miss Liberty loved boating! Ok...so she loves everything...she's always smiling
Beckham loved loved LOVED the water! He wanted to spend every waking minute swimming (I wish I could type it in his cute 2 year old accent that sounds a little more like "simming"). And every minute not spent "simming" needed to be spent taking "boat wides".
He was a fantastic swimmer. Maybe all two year olds are this good, but we weren't expecting it. As long as he had his life jacket on he would swim for hours without assistance - even traveling good distances. He really had a hang of the kicking and paddling stuff.
Brendon showed him an adventurous time. I love that he looks a little apprehensive in this photo!
And here he is giving a little wave to show that he is having a great time on the wakeboard! Since we got back to Utah he whines constantly about the lack of boat rides.
