Day with Alexandra

So Jennifer and Avery went to the doctor Wednesday for Avery's 1 year appointment. I got to take Alexandra to gymnastics. The same as last time, she wanted everybody to know I was her daddy (there is just something about that...). Afterward, we went to DD's boat for a day together. First, we stopped off at a gas station to get supplies (water and pink lemonade). Then, we made it to the boat (after hearing 'are we there yet' a hundred times...this time, it never got old). When we uncovered the boat, there were a few spiders on the cover. It took some convincing to get Alexandra to finally climb on board. She changed into her bathing soup (bathing suit). She decided she wanted to go fishing first. We got the poles and made our way to the end of the pier. After about 5 minutes, Alexandra decided it was taking too long for the fish to bite. She wanted to go swimming. We drove out onto the lake near the IH 30 bridge where the wind was blocked off. We jumped in to find the water was quite cool. After about a minute, it didn't matter. We were kicking around and having a good ole time. She finally decided she was hungry. We docked up at the harbor and had lunch at Ruby Tuesday. Boy was she hungry. She ate two of the mini burgers (about half the size of a regular burger) and a plate of kids fries. Then it was off to Cold Stone for some ice cream. She barley had the ice cream down before she decided it was time to swim again. Back to the same spot and in we went. This time, King Triton (me) and Prince Eric (also me) joined Ariel (Alexandra) for a swim in the sea. A storm moved in and we decided it was time to head for the marina. We made it back and it was once again fishing time. 5 minutes later, the fish were again not biting fast enough so we left (just ahead of the storm). We had to make a couple of stops on the way home and Alexandra had to tell EVERYBODY about her day. Then, Alexandra found quite the bouquet of flowers she just had to have for mom. Of course we got them and went home as quick as we could. I must say, it was a wonderful day.
