Captain Cal

We took Cal on his first boating adventure during our trip to Minnesota a few weeks ago. I assumed the day would be a struggle, at best. I was 99.9% sure that Cal would find some way to jump ship before the day was over. Much to my amazement, our little adventure seeker was actually quite cautious on the water. He proudly wore his life jacket took turns sitting in everyone's laps without any attempts to jump overboard. We were so proud! 

Here's a few photos from our day on the boat..

Holding on tight.

Wind blowing in his Donald Trump do. 

Funny guy could hardly keep his eyes open.

Learning the ins and outs of captaining a boat from Grandpa.

And promptly taking over.

Cousin Jack- beach babe.

After a while, we decided to jump over and cool off in the lake. Timid at first, Cal quickly warmed to the idea of swimming and was splashing around like a crazy fool in no time.

Clearly, the kid could use a pair of sunglasses. 

Between the wind and the sun he spent the majority of the day with his eyes closed- haha!

Practicing his back float.

Even little Jack got in on the swimming action.

Thanks for a fun week Grandma and Grandpa- our getaway to Minnesota for the week turned out to be just the vacation we were looking for!
