Great-Grandma called just as we were headed out the door to go boating with our friends on the St Croix river near Prescott and Afton. She was very surprised to hear that Claire would be out on a boat. We assured her that it was a nice large boat so it would be very safe for Claire. She noted that if it was a large boat, that we must have very good friends. Indeed, we do. Thanks Gerald and Wayne (and Bailey the dog) we all enjoyed our time with you on the river. You are definately great friends. Claire thinks you are great too! And I don't know many captains who could have backed us into that spot on the city dock in Prescott to disembark...Nice navigating!

Claire likes driving the boat, sockey monkey, and Gerald...and his elbow rest... :}Gerald and Wayne probably had no idea that boat lunch might include sushi made by Aaron, what an exercise in trust...raw fish for lunch. Where in the heck was that soy sauce anyway? Thanks for letting us contribute to the day as well.

Grandma, note size of boat is not entirely evident from picture. It is a 27 footer. Hope you guys can continue to keep it out of the rocks and what not. Thanks again for a great day on the water! It was very relaxing and enjoyable. What a beautiful day to be out!
