Just Add Waters

After seven years of being without a boat and playing in the water Dave couldn't last much longer.  He found to good of deal to pass up on a used boat.  The kids were so excited when it brought it home.  They have all worked hard to clean it and getting it ready to go.  Dave promised them we would go out on the next weekend his was off.  

Memorial Day was the day.  I am not sure who was more excited Dave or the kids.  I watched the kids with the anticipation of trying something new the I became excited too.  The trip started with the usual prep for a family outing making sure we have water (to drink), sunscreen, towels, and good weather.

All came together for a beautiful day.

 Getting onto the water.

 Finally on the lake.  Are those smiles?
 Learning to drive.  Rylee  is first.
 Followed by Reganne.  Such concentration.
 Bringing up the rear was Ryder.  Good thing there is a chair of him to see over the steering wheel.
 Time to get into the water... Who's first?  Remember the water is only 67 degrees.
 First ride in the tube.
 This is fun!!!
More, More, and finally that is enough.

The water was getting choppy with to many people on the lake.  The girls were done riding and it was time to play on the beach or go home.  We made a quick stop at the beach, but again too many people.  As we left the lake there were cars lined up past the entrance. Let's go home and get cleaned up for lunch.

They are already planning our next adventure.
