Boat Ride.

Ella got a chance to experience her very first boat ride recently-and what a ride it was. We were invited by our friends Jason and Tressa Cramer for dinner at their home followed by a boat ride on a pontoon. They are great friends and their boys are both great friends of Nathan's. Rumor even has it that their younger son, Martin, has a little crush on Ella:)
It was a beautiful boat and an even more beautiful evening, it honestly could not have been more enjoyable! Ella was not sure what to think about her life jacket. She never fussed, I think because we convinced her that she looked "pretty", but she was definitely not looking comfortable!

Here's Nathan with his friend Henry (3), Jason & Tressa's first born.
Watching the waves...

Another example of Ella's uncomfortable look, I couldn't help but laugh at her the whole ride, poor girl.

Here's a group shot of the boys & Ella while we were going "fast" in the pontoon boat. From left to right: Henry, Nathan, Ella, Matt, Jason, & Martin (2).
