Sunday cruise

Michael Jr came to visit us for two weeks. We decided that the best thing to do on a warm Sunday afternoon is to go out on the boat. So Mike, Michael, Michele, Kyra, Jimmy, Sophia, Jeff and I all went out. It was a great time. Mine took us out and we dropped anchor, we all swam and fished, and swam some more. Jimmy had a great time swimming but every time he got away from the boat someone had to go get him and bring him closer to the boat. We finally got smart and tied a 50 foot rope to him, so when he got tired we could pull him in. That rope ended up being the life line for all of us to get back to the boat.
After lunch we went fishing. Jeff was the first person to catch a fish on the boat but Michael was right behind Jim catching one of his own. It was such a great afternoon.

Jeff caught the first fish on the boat. Way to go Jeff.

Michael was not too far behind on catching his first fish ever.

Sophia CHEESEing for the camera.

If you look close you can see that they are all hanging on to the rope tied to the back of the boat.

It started by tying the rope to Jimmy's life jacket so we could pull him in when he got tired of swimming.

Everyone else just wanted to hang on.

Jeff--I think that one is too small even for an appetizer.
