Back on the boat

Today we took the pups and went to the lake house for the day. It was the first time back in the boat this season, though my brother-in-law has already been wakeboarding a couple of times apparently. He is braver than I when it comes to cold water.

Jake and Bella absolutely love going there. They can tell we're getting ready to go somewhere exciting and this time they ran to the car long before we were ready and sat in there all by themselves in the dark garage while we finished packing. No one ever said they were normal.

So we got out on the boat and just took a spin around the lake to the other side of the peninsula. Chris did get in the water and I stuck my feet in, but it was really cold. It's not so bad once you get used to it, but it's ten times worse once the boat gets going and it's really windy. Bella actually jumped in on her own and swam back and forth between Chris and the boat, but she seemed a little nervous and wanted to get out pretty quickly. I think she prefers swimming by the shoreline. Jake of course was a big wuss and just whined the whole time Chris was in the water. He tried to catch flies the rest of the time.

pure unadulterated canine joy
