is officially here!! Since the weather was gorgeous and turned to hot summer temperatures almost overnight, we made a quick decision to head to the lake on Memorial Day with the boys. Silas and I are old pros at prepping the boat, and can get things ready to go pretty fast when we want to:) The boys were really excited too. We loaded up the car Sunday night and everything was ready to hit the road right after breakfast on Monday.
The new SUV handled the boat like a dream. Silas was so impressed with how well it pulled the load. The Yukon got some great reviews in this area when we were researching it, and it definitely lived up to the hype! We were on the water before lunch and spent the rest of the day driving around the lake, swimming, and hanging out with friends. Jace is a hand full this year. He hangs over the side and throws everything in sight into the water! First rattle out of the box he had thrown his paci over. Then he got hold of the suntan lotion and tossed it in. There is never a dull moment with these monkeys:)
This is Tyson's 4th summer on the lake, and he is so comfortable out there. He loves taking a turn at driving, and does a great job. Jace just likes to honk the horn! My favorite moment of the day was when Tyson jumped into the water. It was really hot and he had been asking to swim for a while. We finally anchored and I got in before him. The water was about 72 degrees and FREEZING. Poor Tyson had no idea it was cold, and just jumped off the back. When his head popped up out of the water his eyes were the size of saucers and bugging out of his head!! I couldn't stop laughing:) He adjusted fast and had so much fun swimming around. Jace loved the water too, but would get cold after a bit and start asking to get back on the boat. The boys took naps while we drove around. It was a great day as a family and a wonderful kick off to summer break!
I am so happy we are able to get to the lake and back in one day. It is so much easier than spending the night! I am hoping to get several more trips in this summer. We have fun stuff planned for the rest of the break while the boys are out of school. Summer swim day with our friends from church is starting up in the morning, we will hit the library for story time, the water park, and hopefully Magic Springs. We are heading to Texas this weekend for a family graduation, and we are all so excited to spend some time with TX family!! I love this time of year!
