It was somewhat warm in the sun paddling around in the canoe. After he once jumped in the middle of the lake, about a year ago to join the kids swimming, and had to swim 150 feet to the shore, he has never done that again. Eli is not a big fan of swimming.

Yes, Eli loves to go for "Truck Rides" in my truck. He gets to ride up high, in the front passenger seat. He even has a harness he wears attached to the seatbelt, because he otherwise slips on the vinyl seats and hits the dashboard hard when I stomp on the brakes.
