First Ferry Ride

The boys got to experience their first ferry ride earlier this month when we traveled to Bremerton to see Aaron's sister, Jenna, and her clan for Megan's (our niece) 13th birthday party. Jaxson could have cared less even though he was looking around curiously, but Jayden LOVED it! He has an obsession with water and loves boats. He kept saying "Boat, Daddy! Boat, Mama!" and "Wide da boat!" the whole time. Poor kid even cried when we docked in Bremerton and we had to drive off the ferry... he wanted to stay. :) We told him that we would have to ride the "boat" again when we went home so that seemed to hold him over for a while. By the time we left to go home, he fell asleep so he ended up sleeping through the whole return trip until it was time to drive off the ferry... and then he got upset again. Then he kept saying, "Bye bye boat!" as we drove away. It looks like we will have to take more ferry rides in the future to cure his fascination. :)

Here are a couple pictures of our short first ferry ride together as a family. Pardon my face in the one picture... it was horribly windy and the sun was right in my eyes so I'm squinting and my face looks so chubby (thank goodness this diet is working because I can see the change in my face!)
