Boating with Liv (and others)

We went boating on Branda's boat a couple of weekends ago and despite some rain, had a great time.  

Matt and Drew - the water was a little cool, but that didn't keep this Mermaid (again, self proclaimed) from jumping in second with Matt.  

Reading never does these things justice, but I wanted to remember Olivia's "jump" (with the rope) towards Ansen that dowsed him in water.

The brave girls went tubing.  Not necessarily "brave" due to the tube, but brave due to the fact that it was pretty chilly by then and no one else wanted to get in the water.

This was a fun experience

since Addison was begging for faster and Olivia was freaking out for:

1.  to slow down

and 2. because she couldn't hear the music.

No joke, one weekend later Olivia claimed to be a "big risk taker" . . .

Lisa didn't let that one slide and asked if she meant "risk taker" like with the tube . . .

As we were coming into the dock, I threw Liv's shoes at her to put on and one flew into the water.  Olivia had an impressively IMMEDIATE breakdown claiming those were "her best flip flops ever"  (the $2 buy from Old Navy).  I suggested we leave it and buy another, but the freak out got everyone in motion.  Addison was just preparing to dive off the back of the boat as Ansen trolled around the flip flop, but in the end Banna saved the day and leaned over far enough to grab it. 

Emergency Evaded.

What would we do without a little "Ollie Dolly excitement"?
