Lake Trips

'08 Summer Fun in the Sun!
We love to go to the lake and have good old-fashioned family fun! No TV, no phones, no toys, no distractions. Just great times.

April was AMAZING at the lake. Not once did she cry or complain. I mean come on!
How comfortable does that life jacket look?! She loved to be in the water.

April's first trip to the lake. I'm glad she loved it,
because there are many, many more trips to come!

End of summer stats:

1)Lamar had just about got his backflip landed perfect! Then he injured his ankle quite badly (curse early morning B-ball at the church!) and had to take 6 weeks off. He was pretty bummed. That wiped out the ski season for flips. 2)I learned to ski on one ski this summer and LOVED it. Who new?! 3)Bryson popped right up on his skiis the very first time he tried. He was a machine! That kid could ride forever! His first run, he went 45 minutes. I am not joking!!! We went from one end of the lake to the other without him wiping out. He was a natural. We had other boats slow down and ride along side of us so that they could cheer him on. He even received a standing ovation from a boat of 5 men in their early 20's who then flexed their arm muscles and pointed to Bryson. He was so excited and proud. 4)Elizabeth's first time in the tube with only her big brother, she flipped out of the tube and into the water. 15 miles an hour would probably be pushing our speed. Uncle David "saved her". (She treaded water with her life jacket on until we flipped around and David pulled her into the boat.) Scared the stars out of her! 5)April loved the lake and continues to live worthy of her repuation as the best baby EVER!
