Yesterday Sequoia took mommy out for a boat ride with Becky and Jeremiah on their boat. This was her first boat ride and gave her a chance to break out the nice life jacket that Pop-pop and Mamasita gave her, along with the great sun hat that John and Dee Thornton gave her...the cute face was a gift from her mommy.
It's not easy striking a relaxed pose when you are wrapped up in a mattress like a giant sausage, but Sequoia managed to relax and enjoy the ride.
The evening was pretty although the York only offered up a series of perch and oyster toads. Sequoia was only marginally impressed with her mommy's fishing skills. With all the talk about mommy being the great shark girl she had pretty big expectations.
With the fishing being more of an exercise in drowning bait than fighting fish Sequoia decided to take a nap in Becky's arms.
On the way home though she woke up, put on her sunglasses (also from John and Dee) and enjoyed the evening breeze in her hair.
All in all it was a successful first boat ride. I can only imagine how many more days she will spend on the water, but with the way genetics are reported to work, it will be a significant portion of her life.
That may be one of our better gifts to her.

So cute and taking it all in stride ~ her very first fishing trip aboard a boat! Classy sun glasses and puffy life jacket just obviously seem natural to our Sequoia! What a dream doll !
Maybe we'll get to see her in August....hope, we hope!
love to all, Grandmom & Grandad
