We drove to Kevin's parent's house on Friday night so they could watch Kerriann while we were away. When we arrived late that night they surprised Kerriann with a kitchen set and a few other new (to her) toys that she loved! Seeing her so excited to play made me feel a lot better about leaving her. We left pretty early the next morning and I think the first few hours were the hardest on me. After that I got used to the feeling of being away from her and started to relax more. I know that Kevin and I NEED to take time away every now and then, and I didn't want to miss out on the enjoyment of the trip. I just kept reminding myself that she was in great hands and allowed myself to start having fun!
We cruised around on the boat, anchored and had a few drinks, had appetizers at a restaurant right on the water, and enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by Marshall's mom and grandmother that night.
While we were on the lake, we saw a few interesting boat names, including this one that reminded us of all of the drama going on lately with the Casey Anthony trial...."Knot Guilty."
The other main "excitement" of the day was Kevin coming very close to losing his wedding ring. He and Marshall were playing football in the water and all of a sudden Kevin noticed that he was no longer wearing it. Marshall volunteered to go back to the boat and get goggles and a snorkel, meanwhile the rest of us on the boat were clueless. Kevin tried to discourage him because he thought they'd never find it, but as they were getting ready to give up and come back to the boat, Kevin spotted something silver glistening in the sand under the water. IT WAS HIS RING! Seriously, him finding it was probably a one in a million chance. Someone was looking out for him that day!
As the rest of us were sitting on the boat, we saw them jumping for joy and yelling about finding something, but we thought they were just playing a trick on us... haha!
More to come on day 2!
