Lake Trips in the Summer.....






Summer it's the lake, winter it's the snow. It's sad that my kids are better at wake boarding now than me. I feel so old when I have to stop after about five minutes because I am too tired and my kids keep going and going like the energizer bunny. Mason hasn't been able to do it yet but by next year I am sure he too will pass me right up. This summer was the first time I tried surfing behind the boat. Me and Mitchel call it the old man's sport because it's SO much easier on your body than wake boarding. It was pretty simple to get up for me, but then staying up for longer than 5 minutes was a challenge. It's so much fun though. I like it much better than wake boarding. So my kids and Mitchel of course can keep up the wake boarding and I will stick to the old man's sport. I have two pics one is Mitch surfing behind the boat and Cobe wake boarding on his B-day over the summer which is another funny story. To make it as short as possible Cobe had his B-day party on the lake. Now his Birthday is August 1st needless to say Monsoon season. I have lots of kids of whom I am reasponsible for and of which some parents were alittle apprehensive to let there child go (which is totally understandable) So we are having a great time when a huge storm rolls in. We are trying desperatly to get to the dock when the storm hits us full on. I felt like we were in the middle of the OCEAN with lightening above our heads and Mitchel trying so hard not to capsize our boat. It was SO scary. Mitch and I were trying so hard to stay calm and get us safly out of this crazy storm with all these kids. The kids of course thought it was so much fun, but Mitch and I knew the reality of what could very easiley go wrong. I sat and prayed so very hard!!!!! Thankfully we got out of there safely thanks to my husbands fine driving abilities and when you asked any of the kids there favorite part of the party ....Yes, it was the storm.
I just told them all "Don't tell Your Parents'!!!
