Quincy Trip - Life on the river

After Albert met everyone, we went up on the river.  He seemed to enjoy everything - the boat, the wind, the water...  except his life jacket.

Here's the three of us in the boat...

Albert and Grandpa on the sandbar.

Mmmm.  Yummy sand...

Or maybe not...

Yucky sand!

 It's ok, momma will take care of it.

 Let's go float!

My floatie comes fully equipped with teething toys

3 generations of eldest male Sturhahns.

3 people looking at the camera, one at the quatro-pus.

Floating away!

Giddy-up!

Hi mom!

Loving the wind in my hair...

Not too sure about the sun.

Aw, I wanted to drive.

Moooommmm!  Seriously?

Brrrrr.

Fun times in the river!

And I'm done.  Goodbye all!

We had a little bit of an adventure after the sandbar and had to get towed in.  Apparently something went wrong with the fuel line in the boat, and we had to change the fuel filter and pull some shenanigans with pouring gas in the filter to get it started again.  The poor people who towed us in ran over a dike on our way back and probably chewed up their propeller.  They also sort of ran us into some wooden pilings on the way in...  but everyone arrived safely, and I think everyone's pride was more wounded than either of the boats.  After we got into shore, we had all of my cousins over at the house for dinner.  (They were all waiting for us patiently when we pulled into the driveway.  Well, as patiently as youy can wait without any alcohol being served.)  More on that in a bit...
