Today we picked up Jamie, Melissa (not to be confused with the other Melissa), and Aveaha who is 2 years old. We weren't sure how she would do aboard the boat, but she took to it like she was born to it. She kept wanting to go round and round the deck, so we hooked her to a halyard (that rope hooked to the top of her lifejacket) and let her loose. And then she went for a kayak ride with her Mom, Melissa. We didn't think she would even be able to hold the paddle, but she demonstrated surprisingly good paddle skills and was having so much fun she didn't want to come back to "the big boat".
