Land Lubbers

My mom ordered the girls a new kind of life vest, hoping that if we found a more comfortable fit, we’d be more likely to make the girls wear them on the boat, the girls would be less likely to be tossed overboard unprotected, and my mom would be more likely to sleep at night.  Hey, as long as she’s buying, we’ll do what we can to give her a good night’s rest! 🙂

The jury is still out on whether or not these vests will be more kid-friendly, and thus worn more often.  But the verdict is in that the girls look hilarious in their new attire!

Susie: “I can’t put my arms down!”

Susie: “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”

Becky: “Mom, this is rather embarrassing.”

Becky (on left): “Help!  How do I sit down?”

Susie (on right): “There, there, sister, it’s not so bad.”

Girls: “We can look cute no matter what we’re wearing!”

Here’s a video of the girls testing out their vests.  They kind of remind me of puppy dogs wearing those plastic cones around their necks.  Only dogs move around better than the girls do.
