Boating on Huron
Grandpa rented two boats for our stay. I do not know much about boats, but they appear to be aluminum row boats each with a 20-25 HP motor.
Robby and Charlie ready for a ride.
Meanwhile Ben wanted a hug from Miki.
We got the green boat with the slighlty less powerful motor.
The kids were pretty excited.
Mary steared the boat and controlled the motor, while I made sure the kids stayed safe and seated.
Woohoo! Mommy, let's see how fast this thing can go!
Since Grampa's boat had the more powerful motor, they waved to us as they passed by us.

At first Ben wanted us to just go faster and faster. But when we started to hit some waves at top speed, I think he got a bit scared. He held on tight for the rest of the ride.
I was surprised how fast we actually went.
I took a few jittery movies on our ride.
Towards the end, Ben started to snooze, and eventually fell into a deep sleep in my lap.
