Day on The Pontoon!!

Our adopted Grandparents took our family out for a "Boating Day on the Pontoon."  This was the first time our kids had ever been on a boat, and the first time Leif & I had been on a pontoon.  Normally when we "go boating" it is purely for wake-boarding, skiing, or tubing.  This was the first time we just boated.... and it was so much fun!!!   We saw a lot of wild life, enjoyed the scenery, ate good food, and even got to swim.
 
Micah & Savannah were so comfortable on the boat.  Micah drove with Bob most of the time while Savannah made her way around the boat looking at every angle.  Every boat we passed the twins waved to, and then enjoyed rocking in their waves!  The twins were sure to point out ever bird, while Becki pointed out every dolphin. 
 
At one point we spotted a whole family of dolphins.  There were around 12 dolphins swimming in circles around our boat.  There was a baby and mommy along with one "show off" dolphin.  This show off had caught a flounder.  He would throw the fish in the air and then try to catch it... over and over.  Many times we saw a dolphin jump.  I truly felt like I was at Sea World. 
 
Our destination was a Three Rooker Island.  It is a house-shoe island above Honeymoon State Park.  And since it is in the shape of a horse-shoe there were no waves.  The twins has so much fun swimming around and under the boat.  The water felt like a bath tub.  It was the perfect destination, that only added to our perfect day.
Thanks Bob & Becki for a great day!!!
