Fall Sailing
We've been so lucky in the weather department so far this fall. It's been gorgeous and warm, very unlike Michigan. We took advantage of the nice weather two weekends ago by going out on Grandpa J's boat one last time before it gets put away for the winter. Carter still loves the captain's wheel and we also discovered that he absolutely hates life jackets. Last time we were on the boat, the life jacket Grandpa and Grandma brought him was too little and we couldn't fit it on him. This time we were prepared with the right size however Carter freaked out when he realized he couldn't move or sit comfortably in it. We had to eventually take it off, he was safe on the floor of the boat and the screaming that took place while it was on him wasn't worth it. Next year when he's moving around we'll have to put our foot down, but it just wasn't worth it this time.
This was before he realized he couldn't move in the jacket...

Ellen,
This blog thing you have going has got to be the greatest invention since sliced bread. It is fun to watch Carter grow up and go thru his life experiences. Thank you so much!

Life jackets are for suckers! Sticking it to the man-way to go Carter & cheers on being able to walk around now as you're sure to be a terror around the house now!
At one year of age, Swabbie Carter was a great deck hand. We look forward to lots more boating fun with our "pirate" grandson in years to come.
Happy Halloween to all of you.
Love, Grandpa and Grandma
