We found a decent lake to go to this summer. Of course the water is NOTHING like the lakes in TN, but at least this lake is not lined with houses and kind of appears to look like a TN lake:). We sure did enjoy our time and the boys were super excited to get in. We hope to hit this lake a few more times this summer.
Boys getting ready to jump in. The water was actually a decent temperature.
Caden ASKED us if he could ski!! He proudly got into the water, and put on his ski's. I told him to hold on tight, but when he fell to let go of the rope. I told him to stand up when his ski's are out of the water. Here he is getting ready.
Here he is getting up. Yes he got up, but only went about 10 ft total. This was his 5th attempt I think. His first time he didn't get up and fell right away, but he forgot to let go of the rope and so was dragged under water a bit. Sure scared me and him to be honest. He was then more fearful and had tears after that incident. Poor little guy, but still he did a good job and did end up getting up. We are so proud of our 4 year old Caden. (I told him if he got up Id blog about it...so that was a good incentive).
Liam really liked the water. He would just splash and splash and laugh and laugh. I could never let go of him though, or he would flip out.
The boys are getting ready to do a little tubing. Yes, Elijah put on a life jacket before we took off!!
Liam getting in the water again....I am actually holding onto his butt...you just can't tell.
Good job Elijah...we took off the bar that connects the ski's together for learning purposes....and he got up on the first try without that bar. So proud of you Elijah!!
