Paddle Boat

We went to the Reston Farmer's Market this morning. Owen loves to help pick out produce and we always end up with something we just don't really need. This time was gooseberries, good thing I like them. After that Owen and I ran around in the fountain together and then headed over to sit on a bench and all enjoy some very delicious kettle corn. I had thought about all taking a boat out and planned on bringing the Bjorn to carry Aiden, but of course I forgot it. It just so happens that Virginia's laws on boating are very lenient. You are not required to wear a life vest and there is no age limit. We decided to all go in a paddle boat because there is no chance of tipping over. Aiden is now the youngest ever in a boat on Lake Anne, previously was eight months. :) We only went out for about 20 minutes but it was just enough. Aiden really did not like the vest so I just held it around him (more to show face for passersby). Omer and I paddled, Owen sat in the middle and steered, and Aiden stood on my lap and enjoyed the views. It was a lot of fun. We even went under the mist of the fountain. We will definitely do this again and better planned. The video is pretty bad because it was really hard to hold it out far enough to really see us and of course Omer was paddling at the same time. But here are some snippets of our first boat trip on Lake Anne.
