Captain Ali...

This weekend we got the boat out, cleaned up, and running!
Major accomplishment ;)

We took the boat out to one of the chain of lakes that included
Trout Lake, Coon Lake, Lake Lizzy, and Aligator Lake in St. Cloud.

Ali loved driving the boat!

We cruised around the chain of lakes just enjoying being on the water
and letting Ali get her sea legs back.

She quickly remembered what the throttle did
and how to make the boat "go fast"...
She just needs to put that together with looking where she's going
and we'll be set!

We docked at our favorite restaurant and had some lunch.



The patio has a great view of the lake while you enjoy your lunch under the big oak tree...

Then back to the boat!

... Is this cute or what?


She pulled each of us skiing... Daddy 1st!


Ali was ready for a juice box after pulling Daddy skiing...


Then it was Mommy's turn to ski...


I think this was baby #2's first ski trip... 31 weeks and counting!

The sky was so beautiful...

This is a beach area where we could set up a tent and spend the day...

This is one of the little canals that connects the chain of lakes...

... another of the canals to connect all the lakes!

This is the new boat ramp that we discovered on our most recent trip...


Ali was loving the boat!

...next time we'll see about getting her out on some skis!
