I've gotta be honest. We've had horrible weather for what seems like FOR.EV.ER now, but this Saturday was pretty nice! We took full advantage of it--Jonas got a lot of yard work / gardening prep work done, and then we went out to boat on the St. Croix river with our friends the Roquets (who graciously didn't mind me inviting us along on their adventure...) ;)
The weather was perfect that day: breezy, slightly sunny, warm-ish, no bugs...sigh. Love it. I also love living so close to so MUCH water, and so many different kinds of water (i.e. rivers, streams, small lakes, medium lakes, ocean-like lake Superior, etc.). This is going to be a fun summer with a swimming area 1 block away, I can feel it!
But, on this day, the river was king! Finn LOVED going fast, Layla did NOT. So, that was fun. ;)
We boated up-river for a while and then stopped at one of the many islands for the kids to play, and for dinner on the boat. Here is a bit of play:
And some of dinner:

| Jump! |

The view from the boat, down-river...
(And hey, check this out! Do you see the floating outhouses down river there?? I didn't know that was a "thing," but I guess it is. All the boaters have convenient restrooms available to them on a large stretch of the river, every mile or so. Ah, love seeing my tax dollars doing stuff like this. Seriously. :)
