Boating For Beginners

Today we borrowed a skiff from Knudson to take Eve out on her first boat trip. We had planned to run up to Naha to enjoy being on the water. Not long into the ride Eve started screaming. She was a little scared by the bounciness of the boat. Rather than tormenting Eve by continuing to Naha we headed to a beach on Betton. Despite spending some time at the beach yesterday we had a wonderful time. The tide was coming in on the nice hot beach making the water warm. Eve ventured into the water farther than she ever has before and enjoyed every minute of it. She really is a little Alaskan girl. Every attempt to drag mommy in the water was met with protest. Ashley had to tell Eve that "mommy wasn't born in Alaska, she doesn't like cold water." After we were done playing in the water we had a picnic on a log while Eve and I dried off. We only spent a couple hours on our afternoon boating adventure but it really was the perfect afternoon.
