I’m on a boat

On Saturday evening were lucky enough to be invited to our friend Geori’s lake cottage to hang out on her family’s boat and explore the lake. Of course I asked if we could take Wrigley along too. He loves the water so much I couldn’t even think about going without him! On the way out to the lake the husband thought it would be a good idea to get Wrigley a dog life jacket because we were worried he would jump off the boat while it was moving. He tends to get a little over excited about water and I didn’t want to lose him!

Doesn’t he look cute? He was a little scared at first but soon started to love it. We’ve decided we definitely did not need the life jacket (good thing I kept the tags on it!). Wrigley was so good and stayed in his seat the entire time.

He loved having the wind in his hair and watching the water splash.

After the boat ride Wrigley kept walking over to the edge of water and we could tell he wanted to swim. So the husband jumped on in.

Wrigley soon followed and had a blast. He could swim for hours.

Thanks Geori for a fun night! I think Wrigley had his best day ever.

It really is true when they say the days are long It really is true when they say the days are long but the years are short. One day I’m struggling to carry two babies at a time while wrangling a toddler and then next minute they are all off to school and practices and friends’ houses. With all three kids in school we’ve been thinking a lot about their futures and how we are going to one day pay for college. We set up a Michigan Education Trust 529 plan for each of our kids when they were babies and I am SO happy we did! With a MET account, we can pay for future college tuition at today’s prices. With MET’s discounted age-based pricing the earlier you start, the more you are able to save! Plus grandparents and other loved ones can contribute to my kids’ accounts too! With MET you get back what you put in if your child chooses a different path and the money goes with you if your child goes to school out of state. You can even transfer it to immediate family members and all contributions to MET plans are tax deductible! To learn more about how to set up a MET account and the benefits of starting your child’s account early, check out my stories or the link in my bio. @mieducationtrust #sponsored #SETwithMET #MI529 #collegesavings #METSept2023
