Anniversary Trip

Grant and I celebrated our 11th Anniversary on Saturday out on the water. I hadn't been out on the boat in a long time and when Grant asked me what I wanted to do I told him that I wanted to spend the day out on the water with my favorite people. So, of course, Grant and the kids were included in there and some of our friends were able to go as well. It was a beautiful day with beautiful seas. We did some scalloping, and even though we didn't hit the perfect spot we were still able to get a few. At one point during the afternoon I just sat back and thanked my Father in Heaven for such wonderful people in my life, such an amazing world that we live in, and the awesome wonder of children. Spending time together with my family and making memories for many years to come is exactly what I needed for my Anniversary. Plus, Grant even caught me a Flounder as a gift - isn't he sweet :)
This was actually Fisher's first time out on the boat and he had a great time. He explored everything that he could explore and was a real trooper. Below is such a sweet picture of him. Even though you can't see his face it reminds me of his wonder as he's trying to pick up his first scallop.

Coral didn't want to swim much in the ocean, but she did have a great time out on the boat watching every body and "helping" out. Every time I would catch a few scallops I would hand them up to her to put in the bucket - she was really cute about it!

Every time we stopped the boat Miles and Shelbie were out of the boat and in the water. Miles was swimming around so much I wasn't even able to get a picture of him. A couple of times they swam around with me holding my hands searching for shells and scallops - it really melted my heart!

OK, I couldn't resist taking a picture of the kids totally passed out on the way home. Coral was asleep within just a few minutes of leaving the dock. As soon as we got in the car Coral screamed at all of us for talking and told us to be quite so that she could go to sleep and then she promptly went to sleep. It was hilarious and Grant and I were cracking up. Miles and Shelbie held out until we had grabbed some dinner and there tummies were full and then they gave up the ghost and fell asleep. In the morning Miles couldn't even remember if he fell asleep or not. I happily told him that he did and I had the picture to prove it, he thought that was really funny.
