Kevin couldn't miss an opportunity to head to the Dallas Boat Show, especially since Papa hooked us up with tickets from the guys at the Mastercraft booth! Before we walked in, Kevin gave the kids a lecture about sitting properly in the boats (Colby) and not touching buttons (also Colby, haha.) The kids behaved themselves and loved climbing on A TON of boats, pretending to drive, testing out all possible seats, and finding any hidden nooks or crannies.
Brooke looks so big here!
The little goofball hanging with Grandma and Papa.
Making themselves comfortable :)
Resting with Papa on the sweet surfboard bench...
I have the most adorable video of Colby explaining the "zoomer" (throttle) that helps the boats go fast, haha.
Three generations of boat lovers. It really is fun to see how much these guys love all things boat related. It brings Kevin so much happiness to teach Colby (and Brooke) about boats, especially when he sees their excitement about it as well. I know Jerry feels the same about watching Kevin and his grandkids enjoying the boat life.
The kids were sure that they each needed their own surfboards, since these ones were "just their size", so we'll see what this summer brings. If a new board helped Brooke gain confidence to surf on her own, you better believe that Kevin will buy her one. Colby is gonna tear it up this summer, but Kevin is eyeing a wakeboard for him instead of a surfboard.
After the show, we headed to Lockhart Smokehouse in the Bishop Arts District. This wall mural was very Mary Poppins-ish to me, so I made the boys pose for a picture.
The food was really yummy, and we enjoyed the time to sit and chat with Grandma and Papa. As we walked back to our car, we passed a unique chocolate shop and left with giant chocolate marshmallows! It was a fun ending to a great day as a family :)
