If I had a Boat

I'd go out on the ocean. And if I had a pony, I'd ride him on my boat. And we could all together go out on the ocean, me upon my pony on my boat. --Lyle Lovett

If we actually had a boat, I'd go out on the ocean, but not before having a couple of beers. While we were in Corpus for Dan's birthday, Eliot (Dan's best friend) took us all for a ride in his fishing boat. Eliot was an Olympic swimmer, Dan was a life guard and swim teacher, Daniel and I are both good swimmers. Nonetheless, I couldn't relax for fear of Virginia or Jude flying overboard. I knew Ella would be careful. Thankfully, Eliot handed me a beer, and I calmed down enough to make it through the ride. Ugh. I wish I were more fun. The kids had a blast. And I had a pretty good time too. Thanks Eliot!
