Family Vacation - Time on the Water

So all of these posts are about being on the water. That's one of the things we love so much about the lake. And we take hundreds, and I mean hundreds, of pictures. And we really get some good ones, too. So it takes me a long time to go through them to pick the best and then I still end up with lots of them.

So, grab a cup of coffee or a glass of sweet tea and enjoy all of these pictures (of course there will be more to come!)

Rebecca & Katie on the tube

Rebecca trying to stand up on the tube....

That can be a bit offensive to the boat drive who then jerks the boat to go faster....

...which then causes one to be jerked backwards...

....and fortunately catch herself while providing much entertainment for all!

Hang on!

Doing the Y.M.C.A

More fun - nice picture, Rebecca

It's difficult to get pictures of the adults when it's just us there. I had to drive the boat so the kids took pictures of Matthew - these couple of pictures turned out.

Matthew's really good with the water toys but doesn't get to play as much as he used to - he's too good of a boat driver!

We "encouraged" Rebecca to try to slalom. She does everything else but skiing isn't her favorite. Here she is on the first try of slaloming!

Man, she popped right up!!!

This is her tumble - quite graceful! She couldn't get up again after that but we're convinced next year, she'll be slaloming all over the lake!

Now she certainly is good at the wake board!

Whoops!

Julianna wasn't thrilled about the tube but by the end of the week, she was willing to go slow with the big kids. She did good - what cute smiles!

Look! No hands!

Having a little fun!

Kissy, kissy!

Maybe going a bit too fast for Julianna's liking!

Christian is comfortable enough on the wakeboard to try to jump it.

He did pretty good

Whoops

Rebecca even got a little air!

....landed with the board facing the boat....

Busted!!

Christian is really good slaloming....
