Kierra's first experience on a boat was mild to say the least. She simply laid around on my lap in her steal-of-a-deal life jacket and enjoyed the ride. If it would have taken five minutes longer to get to Chief Timothy Park, she would have been asleep. The first thing we did was to strip her of her life jacket since we want to avoid her hating it since she's going to have to put it back on later in the day. We stood around and let the kids play in the water while we all just gabbed. The weather wasn't sweltering hot but the water was just right. It didn't take anytime to all to adjust to the temperature. Kierra pretty much stayed on the beach the entire day. She did manage to take a nap even though it was a short one (we didn't have an umbrella so she had to lay under a towel and it got a little warm) and she even enjoyed some wonderful "whole wheat oat bran with raisins" at a wonderful riverside cafe called the USS Lee. Her attitude was great with only one downfall...she hated that when she had her life jacket on she couldn't cuddle. No big deal, we'll just keep you on the beach and you don't need it. At the end of the day, we had everything packed up, all the life jackets on and we were on our way. No more that five minutes away from Chief Timothy but she fell asleep in my arms...life jacket and all. She slept the entire way back to Swallows Nest and only cried when I had to take her out of her life jacket to put her in her car seat. Here are a couple pictures of her first trip on the river...
Life Jacket OFF...Princess Robe ON...
(Just so there isn't any confusion as to who's really in charge)
You know, Princess Kierra would really like to go for a ride on this thing.
