Kodiak's First Boating Adventure

This past Saturday Kodiak had his first trip on Daddy's big boat. We went out on Crooked Lake to the sandbar.  When the boat left the pier, Mommy and Kodi were sitting down in the cabin of the boat.  He didn't even flinch when the motor started and we took off.  Quite honestly I think he enjoyed the soothing rocking of the boat.  Once we anchored down at the sandbar, it was time to go swimming!

Daddy had purchased a nice little pirate ship raft for Kodi...just in case he didn't like the cold water.  (Obviously we assumed this would be the case based on his previous experience with the swimming pool!!)  Of course, it was cold at first, but he quickly got used to it thanks to all the people and activities going on around us.  He had plenty to watch and keep him distracted.  After about 20 minutes of walking around with Dad though, it was getting close to nap time.  So, Daddy placed Kodi in his raft, and as you can see in this photo, the lull of the water rocked him right to sleep and this little pirate set sail.  All in all, I think Kodiak really enjoyed his first day out on the lake!
