Our First Visitors!

Our first vistors for the summer were my brother AJ and my cousin Tess Gutwein. They arrived here on Thursday afternoon and we wasted no time in getting them out on the lake. We were out until around 8pm that night. Nick took friday off work so we could hit the lake without much traffic. It was beautiful. Nice weather, and hardly any boats out. A few fisherman here and there, but we enjoyed the lake to ourselves basically. We packed a sack lunch, lots of liquids, snacks, etc and stayed out all day. Our plans were to go again on saturday but we were sore and tired and decided we had enough so we just sat around home and relaxed and enjoyed the day. Here are a few pictures from the wonderful time and great memories that we made. Thanks guys for coming to visit us. Come again anytime:)

Hang on AJ....nick gave him the ride of his life. I always get a little nervous watching people tube....I just know how much it tears up the neck bouncing around and all.

They had never had sushi before so we decided to go to a sushi buffet so they could try all sorts of different items and they really enjoyed it. What a great picture of some tan kidos:) This was taken at Bruster's Ice Cream place.

Aj showing us how to do the air chair.....yeah I never did try it. Nick did, but didn't have any luck in getting up. Im kind of glad cause personally I think it looks dangerous. But good job aj:)
Tess attempting the wakeboard. She did a good job but was nervous to do it because prior to this AJ was doing the wakeboard and took a terrible spill and did a face plant into the water. His face hurt and so did his jaw and neck so tess was super cautious but yet tess also took a dive face first, but was ok:) I attempted it and could NOT get up. I think I tried around 15 times. Guess its just not my sport!!!

Caden is tubing in the back ground...he loves it.
Tess getting her fill of the tube also.
