Pontoon Boat Ride

Today, Scott and Cathy (friends of Paul & Hannah's) invited us to go along with them on a pontoon boat ride on Estero Bay.  It was awesome!  We even got to go out a little into the Gulf of Mexico.  We had lunch on the boat, and the men did some fishing.  Sadly, no fish were biting today.  Russ even got to steer the boat while Scott was fishing.  The weather was perfect!  Here are photos of our adventure:
