Just Another Day

 I mean, who doesn't have an inflatable raft inside a tent that's set up in their garage? Wait ... that's just us?

He looks rather serious here, but he really enjoyed this.

Dave found this raft on clearance for $17 and thought it was absolutely necessary for our land. We intend to put a life jacket on Teddy and see how he fares in his own rowboat (with adult supervision nearby but out of paddle reach). Teddy loves paddles and always tries to steal the paddle for the stand up paddleboard, but he's not the least bit cautious about where he swings the paddle. The advantage of this boat is the paddles lock into the boat, preventing him from wildly swinging them. However, that doesn't mean he can't get in a good jab if you get too close or if you're in the boat with him ... hence the reason we think it's best to send him alone. 

Even if the raft is a bust in the river, it's been a hit in the garage. He's enjoyed boating inside the tent, which was set up to dry out after our camping trip. This may look ridiculous to others, but it's perfectly normal in our world.
