Lachlan's Life Jacket

On Tuesday, August 11th, we were planning on taking Lachlan on his first float of the Kenai River. Well, we didn't have a life jacket for him so we purchased one the night before. We purchased it according to the weight specifications. When we got home and tried it on him...well, you can see the result.

It was sooo funny!! He couldn't move his head. So, Shayne would walk around the room trying to get him to move his head, but he couldn't...he could only move his eyes! We were laughing so hard. You can see from his cute little smile he thought it was pretty funny too. I think either his head was too big for the opening or his neck/torso were too short for the length of the jacket. Either way, it wasn't working' so well.

Needless to say, we didn't use this jacket. We brought it with us just in case, but Alaska has a cool program where they have free life vests for kids at all the boat launches to use while floating, then you leave them for the next kid. So, we found one that, technically, was too big, but fit way better than the one we bought. However, the pictures and the exercise from the laughing were worth the purchase of the jacket!

How can you not love that face?!
