Carter's first boat ride...a memorable one!

We went to mom and dad Meeuwsen's after church yesterday for lunch and a boat ride. We thought we would just go for a nice cruise down to Saugatuck and turn around and come back. We had to be back for Bible Study anyway (that didn't happen!). We'll things didn't quite go as planned. In the Saugatuck channel we lost steering completely so we thankfully were at a spot where we could quick tie up. Soon after, the Geerling's family from church stopped to help...to make a long story short they ended up towing us all the way back to Holland at a big 5 mphs! 2.5 hours later we were finally back. There is much more to the story and more that happened after we got back but let's just say Brian doesn't miss boating as badly as before (okay, maybe he still does)! Carter wanted to make sure we knew he was always around too...he blew through 2 outfits! This is Brian smiling before the big blow out occurred on his jeans! :)

We quick put his life jacket on b/c we spotted the Sheriff....isn't he sticken cute??? He was quite the trooper and did great...he slept through most of the action!

Sounds like an experience. Jason was just asking if Carter had gone potty yet. I guess I can inform him that he did in a big way!!! Ha Ha!!
