Tia's First Boat Ride

We took Tia out on her first boat ride this Labor Day Weekend down on Lake Ann where Chris's dad and step-mom live in Ste Genevieve.  I know Tia loves being outside so I was thinking she'd love the water and cruising around.  Marsha and Mike bought her a cute Dora The Explorer life jacket that was super adorable, but as we all know how tight life vests are for kids, it had her pretty constricted.  It fit her like a glove, but she had so much padding on, she wasn't able to touch her hands together. She did not like being in the jacket and although she looked so cute, she had a gloomy look on her face the entire time.  It was hard not to laugh at how she just stared out at the water and did not even peep a smile at our normal antics.  But I was excited to get her out and about on the boat. She did love being outside and as soon as we took off the life jacket, she was back to her normal self again. I believe she knew she had to wear it and just dealt with it. She didn't cry at all, but her face just said it all.  She had a great time down in Ste Gen!
