The Best Saturday Ever...

So remember me saying before how much I love the beach!?  Well, I forgot to mention how much I love going to the lake too!  If you can't go to the beach, the lake is definitely a qualifying equal.

Tyler's cousin and wife, Glen and Heather Jones, invited us to go to the lake with them last Saturday.  And let me tell you...IT WAS THE BEST SATURDAY EVER!!!  We had so much fun being with their family, the kids had a blast, the weather was great, and they gave Addi her 1st trip to the lake!


Addi, Jaxon, Glen, Cooper, and Ella
You can see that it's still dark outside.  That shows you what kind of serious lake-goers we are.  If you're not there for the nice water, you might as well not go. :-)  Okay, I wouldn't take it that far.  It has been almost 2 years since we had been to lake, so I think we would have rode anything - on anything.  And we did ride some crazy stuff...


The sun is coming up!  And the kids are happy!


Addi's 1st Lake Trip!  
I think she was a little overwhelmed by the softness of her vest. :-)


Tyler rode 1st
Dejavu...our first time together was at this lake!  Love it!


Addi did so well!  She even took a little nap later in the morning.  And she was happy with her Skittles.  (I know what you're thinking...What mom feeds their baby skittles at 5 a.m.?  Answer: Kristen Jones) - Did I just make you feel like a better mom? :-)


Tyler said that this is a rare cactus.  We don't know what it's called so for now we'll call it "Mr. Broccoli Head".  Do you see?  It's the one with weird hair waving to you.


Sorry ladies...once again, he is TAKEN!


Here's Heather landing a huge jump!  She is awesome!




Me...not too bad for someone that hasn't touched a board in 2 years?

Ella surfed with Tyler!  She was so brave and looked like a natural.  Look out Maven...here's your future wakeboarder!

Ella, are you having fun?
Did you know that Ella can't straighten her thumb?


The kids had a blast swimming!


Here's Glen in the middle of his back flip.  How sweet is that!?

Remember I said that we would ride anything.  Well, your eyes are not fooling you...
I rode an air chair!!!  It was the craziest and coolest thing I've ever done!  But let me tell you - it was DANG HARD!

Tyler getting up on the air chair too!

TRUE JOY


If you can't surf in the ocean, surf at the lake!

Thank you so much Glen and Heather for one of the BEST SATURDAYS EVER!  Let us know when you'd like to go again!

Looks like so much fun! We were invited out with our neighbors last week on their new boat to do all those fun things but got rained out. We'll see if we get another chance but I've never gotten up on skis so I usually enjoy the sun and maybe the tube.
