Can't go without....

a post of our season's first boating! Of course this post is probably just like the past several years post, but its part of our life and I know I'll enjoy looking back at the different years we had on our boat.
The typical place Elijah and Caden sit for lunch. Oh how they love "boat lunches".

Liam's very first time tubing. I was glad to go with him as I am not terribly fond of tubing so it was a nice lazy ride which I enjoyed.



Elijah enjoys himself some wakeboarding, however not so much this day. He took a spill and the wakeboard came up behind him and smacked him in his head. He did a little damage by splitting open his head a bit. Not to big though, cause after awhile he got up and was back out on the water.(once the blood clotted of course).


Now that liam is older he is way more fun to take on the boat. Last year when the boat stopped he would cry so it was kind of annoying when changing out skiers. This year, he has enjoyed it and has usually been a happy boy. AND he loves it when the boat stops cause he thinks he can SWIM!


The water was pretty cold so he didn't want to ski this day, but he was glad to kneeboard.(although he doesn't look like he enjoyed it here)

Yeah, the boys sure look excited to eat their lunch on the boat...big smiles:) Liam looks so cute in the big tube. I'm so glad that he is a much better boy on the boat this year. Makes it so much more enjoyable!

tricia....this is actually on lake freeman. It was our first time on this lake. Basically alot like shafer, just deeper and it doesn't have those REAL shallow parts like shafer does. (at least we don't know about them if there are:))
