Hitting the Water

We have been enjoying some nice warm weather the past few days. We have spent every afternoon down at the lake. We took turns riding the jet ski. Shane insisted in being in the rotation as well! He is obsessed with riding the jet ski... too funny!


John took the boys tubing behind the jet ski yesterday and got mixed reviews. Jonah and Sam wanted John to drive slower and Wyatt wanted John to drive faster! Big surprise huh?

Today Wyatt tried water skiing. He used the exact same water skis that I learned to water ski on years ago. My Dad rigged them up with a little rope between them so it is a little easier to get up. But Wyatt gave up after about 5 tries. He said that it was too hard because I was driving too fast and I didn't know what I was doing. Nice!


Anyways, he will try again tomorrow as long as the weather cooperates.

We are also going to practice some lake swimming. The kids are a little fearful about swimming when they can't see the bottom. So, we will make up some games to get them swimming and hopefully they will feel more comfortable. I still get grossed out if my legs rub up against weeds while I am swimming in the lake, so I know how they feel. But, John and I both think that it is important that they can swim in the lake just in case they ever fall in and need to swim to survive.


We are also hoping that the fishing picks up tomorrow. The Cisco are expected to make a run in the next few days and we are ready to do some fishing with the boys. We can't wait!
