Summer Adventures

We have some great friends out here in Washington. Some of our friends have this amazing boat and took us out for some summer fun. Originally it was just going to be the boys but then the I decided last minute to get the girls ready to go and have some fun too! I was planning on just relaxing in the boat and enjoying the great summer day....but...I guess it just wouldn't be me if I didn't do something crazy. With only a couple weeks after having Abigail I felt good enough to try something new. Anyone who knows me really well knows that I do not like swimming in the lake. There are not many things that I won't try but it did take a little encouraging to get me in the water. My last experience wakeboarding wasn't that memorable as the lake was cold and it was an eerie day. I did end up getting up after a couple of tries and although the picture is not that flattering I had to post it as proof!

It truly was a miracle that Andrew got on the tube. A couple of years ago Andrew was riding on the tube and when the boat was stopped he let go and when the boat started again he fell into the lake. For a kid who has had a rough go with getting used to swimming, this was not a good thing to happen. He is older now and a little more comfortable in the water. I was so proud of him for getting back on the tube and having fun. Both of the boys had a blast.


Emma loved the boat and had fun walking from the front of the boat to the back. She made me a little nervous at times but overall she was a pretty good listener. Abigail was amazing as usual and slept pretty much the whole time. We sure love our good summer days here AND of course we love that our friends were so nice to share their boat with us!
