The wife and I took the gloves off and are working on our family now. We have been contemplating stepping down from the 38 Avenger to a cruiser but I don't know if I'm ready to yet. I have been polling coworkers/ fellow boaters on what's the best way to break in the little ones to the boating world.

You just break them in to what you have and they wont know any different.
We had a 29 when my daughter was born and she did great, she was out with us at five weeks old and did fine. Bought the 38 when she was a year old (because we had her and were trying for the second) and she knows boating very well for a two year old. She loves daddys boat and cant wait to go out. My new boaters first week out will be in the middle of August tempature permitting about five to six weeks old. Then we are on Vaca from the Shootout tell Labor Day. Wont have him out for the Shootout or Labor Day but all week between them. Its a little rough at LOTO those weekends
Good luck in your endevor, hell the practicing is what is fun

Ahhh practice, my favorite part!!!

Rich I don't know if I told you but I'll be leaving the Friday of Labor Day weekend. Leah's brother is getting married that Saturday and I told her I'd go. It took come convincing tho. Another &%$#in' function on a holiday weekend.... But, whaddya gonna do? "Uncle Jack" and I will be there for Scotty's birthday during the Shootout anyway!!!!

Unf*c*ing believable what are you thinking Dont give in this early into the relationship let her know how is boss (the boat in the summer time) and tell her that for one it is a weekend that is in boating season and second and most important it is on a MAJOR HOLIDAY WEEKEND. and we will be in LOTO. Tell her that it is nice of her to ask but you are way to busy having fun on a boat By the way good luck if you do all of this.
