get wet, cool down, and have some fun

This was how we chose to end our summer, the weekend before the new school year started. We enjoyed one last trip to the lake to enjoy the sun, food, swimming, boating, family, and friends.

These two guys love to submerse themselves in water

sports whenever possible, so, they went first.

Candice and I took care of capturing the memories

The driver of the boat

Teaching Dawson some basics before strapping on the wake board

Peacefully enjoying the view before ....
Curtis tosses them in ...

one by one

Sometimes against their will

A little training in progress

This one had to be talked into it. OK, maybe bribed. Well, actually, she was forced.

Little dare devils!

They had so much fun ...

well most of the time.

Your Daddy thinks its funny as he tosses you into the air and throws

you about like little rag dolls on the tube. I do not!

The girls' first time on the tube.

Clearly, not the boys' first time.

Flag boy

This little one curled up next to her Daddy when she got tired.

This one was all smiles when sitting in the drivers seat with her Daddy.

Oh dear, I d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y did not approve of this activity!

but clearly that didn't matter to these boys.

Yes, they are learning from the big boys. UURG!

My heart may have stopped beating for a split second.

All tired and conked out. That would indicate a successful LAKE trip.
