He Did It!!



So either Ty is very brave- or he has very stupid parents. I haven't totally decided which it is yet. Either way- we sure had a fun weekend! We went down to Declo (again) for Father's Day and spent most of Saturday afternoon playing on the river. Papa brought out his boat again- and we had such a kick! First Jeni and I got on the tube and got the crap beat out of us, then we thought we'd try and talk Ty into getting on the tube with us... to my complete suprise- HE DID!!! Uncle Chad went nice and slow while the three of us were back there- but anytime we went over any bumps, Ty would break into a huge grin and go "bump, bump, bump" while he bobbed his head up and down. Once the tube stopped, I slipped off the back and held out my arms to see if he'd jump in with me- and HE DID!! What two year old (well- I guess he's not even two yet) just jumps into a huge river? I guess that could be construed as some big time trust for mama. Anyway- he splashed and kicked and giggled- he was so cute! I was so proud of him! Once he started to shiver though- it was time for him to jump back into the boat and snuggle with dad in a warm towel. After we got Ty safely back into the boat- Dani got on the tube with Jeni and I and we got to have the crap beat out of us again! Apparently we're gluttons for punishment- but it was just so much fun- when was the last time you got in a tube? I know it's been forever since I have. Anyway- we had a lot of fun and a lot of sun this weekend- maybe we'll go back down next weekend and do it all again!!

I think it is great that you started him early in boats and water, you don't want them to be a scaredy pants when they are older.
