Lessons Learned

We took the girls boating on Sat. with some of our friends. It was sort of an early fathers-day gift for Lance who, by the way, can still land his back flips on the wakeboard. Go Lance! Well during a break the kids were standing on the back deck of the boat getting their feet wet when I heard a splash. Adri fell into the river. My heart jumped into my throat! It was one of those moments were I was standing right there by the kids but looked away for that split second and well...I knelt down, reached for her hand and pulled her in. Ari was so brave! Wide eyed and scared but she didn't panic. She kicked her legs and was reaching for the boat. Hate to say it but it was an excellent lesson for the kids, especially for Adri, on the reason why mom and dad insist that they wear their life jackets at all times when we are by the river or on the boat. All the kids had theirs on by the way. Anyways long story short; Adri was safe, both her and Myka learned a valuable lesson, I got soaked in my clothes and Lance can still land his back flips. Good job honey!
