To New Yoooooooork!

Get ready for a lot of blog posts with many pictures and few words!  I know you all love it that way anyway... ;)

Relaxing with Papa after driving from 7:30pm to 9:30am.  

Connor slept 2 1/2 hours.  Total.  That took some recovery.

Ahhhhh.  Driving the boat!

Dock napping with Nana.

First time all 4 of us slept in the same room.  We did okay - Connor seems to like to wake up early when he's at the river, doesn't want to miss a beautiful sunrise!

Matthew and baby Reagan in the 1st Mate chair.

First time in the lifejacket...ugh...terrible choking baby safety devices!

Connor spent every minute he could on the dock...especially in his own personal pool full of river water!

He also played with Reagan.  Mostly gently...still working on the sharing thing!

Driving the big boat with Grandpa!

I love seeing all of the different boats - like this cool coast guard boat!

Annalee took quite a few boat riding naps...

...and there's the bridge!  Straight into Canada, folks!

My sweet river boy.

Reagan having a boat nap with his GREAT Grandaddy.

Beautiful.

Happy 4th of July!

We took a day trip to Boldt Castle - everyone in my family had visited except for me, and I was excited for my first time!  Matthew made me take this picture right away for the blog....see the duck nesting in the bottom of this sign?  Apparently my blog is the "nature blog" - ha!

Freighter!

"The Children's House"

Nice stairs...nice Nana!

The parlor, the organ, the fam.

Soooo pretty.  Annalee and I climbed to the very top floor with Grandpa.

This is the boathouse.  For giant yachts.  Craziness!

Sweet strawberry girl, sitting in the bow of the boat!

More river adventures to come.

By the way, this is Making Joyful Noise blog post 200!  Woo Hoooooooooo!
