First Boat Ride

Yesterday we went out on a friend’s boat with Saiya.  She did ok.  She hated the life jacket on her, so she cried the whole way out to the islands.  Once we got there and I took her life jacket off, she continued to throw a little temper tantrum for about 20 minutes.  After she calmed down and got used to the idea of being out in the sun, she had a blast.  She played in the water and sand with her cousins.  On the way back to the boat launch, my friend let her steer the boat.  She LOVED it!  She hates having the wind blow in her eyes, so she closed her eyes while she was driving the boat.  We also say a pod of dolphins in the channel on the way back.  She was fascinated with them!  We might have to get her a more comfortable life jacket, but other than that, the boat trip was a success!!
