A Perfect Day for Boating

It was finally hot enough to feel kind of summery so we headed out to the lake and busted out our boat to do some water skiing.

Well, I guess this was our grad-student version of boating anyway.
In the end we didn't do much water skiing, but we did have some pretty awesome peanut butter and jelly sandwiches which was even better. Good thing we had these kids so that they could do the manual labor and row us around in circles all afternoon.

These underage rowing slaves are great because they work for hours and you can pay them in leftover Peeps.

Bonus Picture:
Daisy has a passion for shoes. Every day she gets out all the shoes and tries them on multiple times. Then, after she has emptied out the basket she'll climb in and chill for a few minutes. We are currently working on teaching her to put everything back into the basket, but she isn't there yet.
