Golf carts, boats, and automobiles

In the week and a half Ian has been in Minnesota, he's already had a short ride in Grandpa's MG, a ride in a golf cart, and a pontoon ride down the Mississippi.

You can't beat riding in a convertible in sunny weather.

Or, for that matter, lounging on a pontoon.


Things got a little tricky with both a life vest and a hat on...

...especially when Ian started to have lunch. He couldn't reach his hands to his mouth, so he alternated between having me feed him and leaning over to eat out of my hand like a dog.


As the ride went on we decided to take off the life vest and Ian started to really enjoy the boat.

With the assistance of Alec, Ian even got to drive the boat for a while.


Ian has now had a pontoon ride where he only wore the life vest for half of the time and a MG ride without a car seat on my parents' cul-de-sac. He's also started to enjoy eating like a dog. Not only am I getting lax on safety, but also on manners! Shhhh...don't tell Ryan.
