My Lake

Many of my childhood summer days were spent on Lake Shasta in our boat "Dry Sundae" (cleverly named by my Dad because we didn't go out on the lake on Sunday). So, I think of this as "My Lake." It has been fun taking the kids out on the boat and on the jet skis with my parents and with Matt when he's around) and making memories with them and reminiscing on the times I spent on the lake.... terrified to try knee boarding or skiing (but doing it anyways- cuz my Dad would make me) and jumping out of the boat with my siblings for a quick swim, begging my dad to honk the horn on the boat for us... and thinking my dad was so awesome as he busted his front and back flips on the knee board.


















The kids were pretty brave trying out the knee board. Tera got a little scared, but Ashton had a smile on his face the whole time. Mazzi just enjoyed being along for the ride. She was perfect.

The kids thought the jet skis were very cool. My parents own stand up jet skis so Matt and my Dad took turns (illegally) taking them for little rides by the shore. Ashton and Tera were laughing the whole time.

You know what I'm going to start telling myself? That you are on vacation! ;) You'll be back and for now you're just having fun! I hear you'll be in town at the end of the month and it sounds like it will be exactly when I wouldn't be able to play! :( So I guess in my mind you will be on vacation then too!

I am super impressed that even Tera did the knee boarding! I don't think Londyn would attempt that! Looks like the kids are loving it there!!
