Day at the Beach

With Micah's busy schedule we haven't had a lot of time to do much boating. So Sandy and Larry brought out one of their boats to us for the weekend to have some fun. We found a large lake/reservoir not too far from us and spent the day in the sun. Aiden was super excited to go to the "beach". We are used to a much larger beach...but as long as there was sand and water-he was happy!
Sandy boy!

I think this was his first "beach"...

Cleaning off before heading into the boat

And he's out for the count!


They really wanted us to try this new tube out...it's been YEARS since we went tubing...and they were the ones where you lay on and hold on for dear life.

We still needed to hold on for dear life!


We dropped the kids back off to the beach with Sandy before Micah went skiing.


Getting ready...

And we're skiing!


All done!

And we left him! I forgot to yell to Larry that he was down...I was too busy getting the shot and waving to the boys!

Aiden in the water.

Devin loved the beach! He also really loved going into the water too...it was nice and warm :)


Look at that doupa!


They had so much fun :) Thanks Kiki and Grandpa!

Sandy took a few more photos of us with the kids and cleaning them off in the water...unfortunately I didn't know that they didn't download to the computer, and I went ahead and cleared my card! I was so upset, because she got some cute ones...so this is the only one of all of us. I guess that means we need to make another trip to the beach!

I don't know if a lot of these are new pictures or if I somehow never saw this post, but it is really cute. I like that Micah getting up picture and funny that you forgot about him after he was down. Kiki on the beach with the kids is super fun too. YOu on the tube is hilarious. It looks like you are a bull rider. I am laughing and loving these. If we stay near the midwest and you guys do too I want to plan a time when we go with you. (I am inviting myself to use your inlaws boat -- so tacky.) It would be fun to get together next summer just our families and your inlaws of course.

I am amazed. I just came to your blog again tonight and I am again noticing a lot of pictures I didn't notice before on this and several other posts. I think I must be absent minded lately. I love this last family shot. It is so dang cute. I also love the shots up above with your fire pit. I love your and your family.
