Memorial Weekend 2009

Lake season is officially here and we are loving it already! We were able to get one good full day in on the water this past weekend before the flooding rain came in, and were so thankful for that time!! My favorite part of the whole thing is watching Tyson learn about the water and all the fun things there are to do there:) We didn't get to pull him behind the boat on the tube because the water was so choppy it was like the ocean at times, but Silas was able to float him out and pull him in really fast, and the kid LOVED it! I can only imagine his excitement when he gets to experience it for real.
Silas did a great job as boat captain as always:) We have getting the boat in and out of the water down now and work great as a team. I love that it is a manageable feat, even with a pregnant woman manning the boat at times:) We have found a pretty cove with a little waterfall in it that we like to anchor in and hang out, and Silas was brave enough to climb the falls and jump off this year! The guys are crazy and all did it!
Here is my proof that I was swimming this weekend. Never mind that I nearly got hypothermia the water was so cold!!! It felt fine after about 5 minutes, but I think that might have been after my body just went numb all over:) And of course kids are amazing....the water never seemed to phase Tyson, even when his little lip was chitter chattering all over the place. I am really looking forward to some good floating time once the water warms up a bit later in the summer.
This is Connor and Tyson hanging out together at the lake. Connor is just a few months older than Ty and they have been hanging out together since last summer. They get along great and keep each other company with all the other adults around:) Connor is also having a little brother about 3 weeks after Jace should be born, so next summer we will have 4 little boys running wild at the lake! Despite the rain, we were glad to get some good time in outside and really enjoyed getting away with friends for a bit. We are definitely looking forward to going again once it warms up a bit:)
