VA-KA -SHUN - Watersports.

We took full advantage of being on the lake and tried to spend as much time in that beautiful blue goodness. The kids swam like crazy but they also enjoyed all the toys too......


Brooke and Lexi out for a Kayak Ride.
 Grandpa couldn't get over the color of the water.....
 Morning exercise ....Check.
 The house we rented had these paddle boards that were a lot of fun. Brooke's working on her balance.
 She could teach her uncle a thing or two....
 But in typical Tom fashion he wasn't going down without a fight....
 two hours later.......
 For the five seconds of glory.....
 Kids came up with a bunch of fun games with them.....here's walk the plank....
 Brooke got so good at this she would take herself on a tour.......
 Victory!
 Boat time......
 The girls....tubed .....and tubed......and tubed......and tubed.....and tubed....

 Brooke roped Dad in for a ride....

 Then Jake and Dad went for a rough ride...
 I love this picture because Brooke gets a taste of her own medicine....as Lexi clearly is giving the signal for faster and it looks like Brooke is all set at the current speed.
 Tom got up on skis!
 Brady enjoyed the sights from INSIDE the boat......
 Grandpa gave skiing the ol' college try.....
 Brooke gave up too easily on the skis - I think she wasn't ready for the rush of water that you get....a few more times she would of had it.....next time!
 Mom threw caution and her NECK to the wind and gave it a go.....
 Chris was also successful.....the water was soooo smooth it was a skiers dream!
 Heading out for some more activity....

 The water is so shallow you literally have to push the boat out so you don't suck up the sand.
 Mom and her lil man out for a tour.....
 enjoying the day.....
 Don't be fooled Brady was only posing for the picture, he never hit the start button. Not sure why he didn't have it in him this year.
 On the flip side this one was 100% in! These two goof balls going together is scary as evidenced by my conversation with her when I was the next one to take her out......."AWH mom your going so slow.....floor it and start doing doughnuts like Uncle Tom......" oh boy.
