New Life Jackets

One Okoboji rule is all kiddos must wear a life jacket on the dock and boat. Jack's fully embraced this, but Griffin was not fond of his jacket, so we boated over for a new "cool" one that didn't tarnish his reputation. He didn't like it at first, but when he realized not wearing it meant staying off the boat, he quickly changed his tune. It always helps if big brother Jack does something first, since Griff copies everything he does.

Jack took the wheel for a minute. (Perhaps we were parked and not actually moving.)

Griffin loved his first boat ride of 2010. He liked to watch from the back.
