Dennis's parents visited last week, and we took a trip to Geneva, NY over the Fourth of July. We spent a few nights on Lake Seneca, and on Monday Grandpa Lefler rented a pontoon boat. It was an absolutely fantastic time - each boy was able to drive the boat, which they found exhilarating.
We rented from a place called Ray's Marina, and puttered around the upper part of Lake Seneca for a while. We stopped for lunch at a place called the Crow's Nest in Geneva.
It had a beautiful patio on the water, and we enjoyed our lunch immensely. We jumped back into the boat for more fun on the lake.
This time, we headed under the railroad bridge and up a canal. It was so serene on the canal, and we saw several great blue herons, ducks, and geese.
We went back out onto the lake and had a blast motoring down the coastline, looking at gorgeous houses. We turned around at Sampson State Park and Nolan decided he needed a quick dip in the lake.
He really loved swimming in the lake, and Dennis was a really great Dad and got into the water with him. Matt is nervous around water (especially cold water), so he stayed on the boat.
Time was running out, and we were all sun-and-water logged, so we headed back to Ray's Marina. The weather was perfect, the water was beautiful, and you couldn't have asked for a nicer day in the Finger Lakes!

How fun! My parents have rented a boat for the day in the summer a couple of times and it is a great time. Hoping we do that this summer, too!
It was SO fun - both of the boys had a blast! It was so relaxing and we had a great time out on the water.
