A Perfect Summer Day

6/29/2015

What does your perfect summer day look like?

For me without a doubt it's a relaxing day on Casco Bay, boating with my family. No set agenda or timetable, just exploring this insanely beautiful place we call home. Maybe a little drifting, a little fishing, a little island exploration or a beach picnic.

Last weekend we did just that; we grabbed sandwiches, packed a bag and headed out spending all day on our little skiff. My five year old learned to drive the boat, both boys went swimming, we found new island beach spots, and we all got a little salty and plenty of vitamin D; perfection. I thought I'd share a few of my favorite photos from the day.

Tell me all about your perfect summer day!

I have a stupid question for you! I noticed in your pictures you don't put the life jacket strap through your kids legs and instead it is buckled to the side. I always have the strap go through the legs. Do you know which way is correct?

HI Meg- Good catch! The strap should def. go through the leg, you are right! My 5 year old could probably use a pfd upgrade I don't think he needs the leg strap anymore and it bothers him (big time). Happy Boating and happy 4th!
