Last night was Ryan's last night of summer vacation (boo!!) so Ed and Linda (his parents) took us to Balboa Island for dinner and a balboa bar to send him of back to work : )  it was a highlight of our summer!!!  It was also em and will's first ride on the ferry...but it was too dark to take a photo, so next time we'll capture it for y'all!  em was amazing.  she had (at home and carried it all the way to the island, at dinner, and during her ice cream even!) drawn a picture for the ferry boat driver to give to him once we got on the boat.  Will was having quite a night and if it wasn't for Emily's picture and hard fast hope that we'd go on the boat, we would have ditched the whole thing for another night.  I can't wait to take them again!  i can't wait to go again with just ry for a date night!
