A Saturday Evening Boat Ride

There isn't much that can top a Saturday evening boat ride on Pickeral Lake!

Samuel and Daddy

A dragonfly landed on Grandpa's nose.  Hope was watching very intently.

Aliyah and Mommy

Big smiles!!

Hope found a dragonfly and tried to put it on her nose - just like Grandpa!

Hope had a turn driving the boat.  She was all smiles and totally not watching where she was going or paying attention to what she was doing.  Carefree and loving life - that is Hope's personality!

Samuel was all business when it was his turn to drive the boat.  Can you tell how hard he is concentrating?  My cautious little perfectionist that takes responsibility very seriously - that's Samuel's personality!

Samuel was helping Great-Grandpa park the boat in this picture.  Samuel's favorite part of the day was driving the boat - this was a highlight for him even though in the pictures he looks all business. He drove us around for a long time.  I was starting to get a little dizzy because he kept taking us in circles and zig-zags.  What fun is driving straight when you are 3 years old?! ;)

I'm not sure who had more fun with this - Great Grandpa or Samuel.  They were both soaking up this special time together. :)
