Summer Fun

There is nothing like a day out on the lake!   It is definitely one of my most favorite things to do with family and friends.  Summer always seems to fly by with too few days we can get away to go boating.  This summer we have only been able to get out on the water a few times, but they were great.  We took the camp kids boating and Amy and Natalie joined us for Natalie's first boat ride earlier in the summer.   We were able to go out with Tony, Amy and Natalie a couple of times, and also with our friends the Lelands and Youngs. 

A couple of time we have been out and the weather was cold and even rainy one time.  It didn't matter.  It was still fun!  One of our favorite things to do is go tubing.  Warren's goal is always to dump the rider, but we have a different rope now than we used to, and it seems to be just the right length that he can't get the tube into really rough water anymore.  He still tries to dump people, and sometimes he succeeds.  Over the years, with different tubes, there have been some pretty fun and spectacular spills.  Nobody was hurt, though, and fun was had by all.  :)

As much fun as it is to go tubing, wake boarding, knee boarding and skiiing, my favorite times come in the evening, just as the sun is setting and the lake gets glass smooth.  Bliss!  I love sitting in the bow as we drive along, and enjoying the sunset reflected on the water.  So calming and beautiful.
