One of the things on Amaya's "To Do" List for the summer, was to ride on Grandma and Grandpa Horning's new boat. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to soak up some sun, have the wind whip through our hair, and spend some time together. It was a beautiful day on Lake Pepin in Lake City - a little on the hot side - but gorgeous nevertheless.
We arrived in Lake City around lunchtime, so we enjoyed a wonderful meal at the Chickadee Cottage!
Our little movie star...
We were all massively impressed with the new boat - lots of room, comfortable, and it was a very smooth ride. And I'm always surprised at how quickly Steve and his dad can get the boat in the water - they make an awesome team!

We were out in the water for about an hour... the heat was getting a little intense, so I was glad with Steve's mom suggested we turn around and head back. Steve's dad tested the boat's speed and got us back to the dock in no time. I think we hit 44 mph.... it doesn't seem very fast... but I hung on pretty tight while trying to get a few snapshots of Amaya.
After getting back to dry land, I guzzled a couple bottles of water and we headed off to Dairy Queen for a little ice cream! A great way to end a wonderful day on the lake!
