Fun in the sun....

Last Saturday (8/8) we were invited to Lake Hendricks by Jason's boss Bob and his wife Jeanette to go skiing, tubing on the lake. What a good time we all had even if the day didn't start out very favorable. It was extremely foggy and a little on the cool side, even though the weather had called for sunny, hot and humid weather for the day! We were able to get on the lake around 10:30 or so and wow it was such a good time. Colby even attempted to try skiing, the first one to volunteer! We were so proud of him, even though he was never able to get up on the water, we were still proud that he was willing to give it a try! Briana also attempted to ski and for never have been on them she faired well also. She almost had it! I also attempted to get up on skiis. Haven't been on them since the summer before my senior year (1992), yes it has been a long time. It was fun trying even if I was never able to get up either. Then we swan in the lake for awhile and then the kids got to go tubing! They enjoyed that! The kids enjoyed themselves immensely! I can't believe how nice it was just to hang out and not do anything but have a nice relaxing time on the lake, away from home for a little while! I am posting pics from the day! Enjoy! We are almost done with week 2 and we are still surviving! Each day gets easier and easier and we are slowly working into a schedule! Still trying to work out curriculum kinks but that will come with time (I hope). Anyway....here are the pics from our adventure last weekend. Thank you so much for inviting us Bob and Jeanette, we had such a great time!
