Back on the water





We all finally got out on the lake again today and it was so beautiful! Scott and Ethen have been up with scouts and stuff, but the rest of us have had a couple weeks without boating. I even got up on the wake surfboard. It is just like a real surf board with no straps for feet and you surf on the wake right behind the boat. Once you get posititoned right you can let go of the rope and just keep going. It was really fun! When you don't have a ocean to surf on this is great. Although I must admit that it only made me want to really take up surfing. I guess that will have to wait though since I am nowhere near an ocean. We anchored for a bit and got out to swim. That ended up being cling to mama time for Luke and Paisley. They both loved getting in to cool off, but would not let anyone touch them except for me and I had to keep a good grip around them to keep them happy! Good thing our life jackets keep us really boyant :) At one point I took paisley in the water with just her life jacket on and a naked bum. The kids just got a kick out of that and thought we were being so rique, Hahaha. So now we are all a little more tanned than we probably need to be and are tired out.

Sounds fun! Can't wait to see your whole tan family walking into church tomorrow. When we're done swimming (at home), we let Benny walk around naked. It's really funny because he pees everywhere. Ok, funny to us!

I have been meaning to compliment your tan! That surfboard thing sounds like fun, and Ethan is already a pro!
