On the open sea

Today Eric skipped out on work (yes, you can skip out on work even in the ARMY) and we took a trip out to Kaneohe Bay. We rented a pontoon boat with a few other people and went out into the Ocean. The guys spear fished while Finn and I lounged in the boat. Now, before you think that I am a mean mom who won't let her son into the water, know this...the water was just a little too fridgid for Finn. Plus, he REFUSED to put on the life vest. No life vest, no swimming. Even though he missed out on a nap, he still had a good afternoon gazing out at the water as you see in this shot.






Here we have Finn looking into the camera and rocking at the same time. Although we were in
a bay, the waves softly rocked the boat. It was just too bad that they didn't rock the boat enough to lull Finn to sleep. The guys didn't get much fishing done, there weren't too many really big fish swimming around. They seem to think that they are "professionals" now and won't go for the mediocre fish anymore...they have to be HUGE. :)





All in all, it was a FABULOUS day to skip out on work! We really enjoyed spending the day together...even if I was the sunscreen natzi!
