Don't be a pain in the boat



Aunt Kathleen and Uncle Bill were nice enough (or brave enough) to let us come out on their boat. It was Gus' first boating experience. A man of the sea he is not. But after lots of crying and screaming he proved he was a man of the sleep: 




Leo (a veteran on what was maybe his second boating experience), was comfortable on the boat. Here he is hanging out on the "plank" with cousin Billy.



Cousins Frank and Bill (I know; lots of Bills!) noodling around.

Here is the nanny we hired. I mean Tia!


Every time Leo got in the lake, he announced he needed to go to the bathroom. Luckily, Kathleen and Bill have a potty on their boat because what he needed to do required facilities. No one had ever done that in their boat potty before until Leo did it...twice!

Captain Leo!

Boating makes you hungry for Goldfish!

After the screaming from Gus and the bathroom christening by Leo, we're not sure we will be invited back. Good thing we have these pictures!

Cute photos! You can always count on Leo to leave his mark! Granny Jo found the bathroom on the boat very useful, too.

So it's the Navy for Leo and the Air Force for Gus.

Hey, the nanny wants to know if her check is in the mail, or was she just paid in mushy cheerios and goldfish?:-)

OK--- So after Leo's emergency use of the potty, it eventually needed cleaning. Of course, no one is more qualified to clean such a potty than Uncle Bill -- according to Aunt Kathleen. And no one ever used the potty for a No. 2 (ew! - gross). Well in honor of this special event, I decided that it should forever be remembered by renaming the "loo" to the "leo". So forever it will be....Uncle Bill
