Boating with the family

Yesterday we went boating on the Lake with Kristen's family. We go several times a year, but this was Jayla's first boating trip! She seemed to feel right at home in the boat.

Kristen's family are all self-taught wake-boarders (they just bought a board one year and figured it out on their own). When Michael and Kristen were dating they decided that he had to learn to wake-board too.

The lake was so glassy! It made the ride so smooth.
Here Michael is trying to get some air (check out that farmers tan!!).


Kristen enjoying the glassy conditions.

This is how Kristen's Dad, Clark, Wake-boards!!

OK... He really knows what he's doing.
He can get pretty high up there and often pulls the occasional trick too!

This is Michael and Clark on the "Sassy Saucer." The Sassy Saucer is a
piece of round plywood that Kristen's family has taken to the lake since
Kristen was small. It took some acrobatics and a well planned balancing
act but they got up and got SASSY!

while Grandma tickles her feet.

Jayla was beat by the time we were heading to the docks.
It was all she could do to keep her eyes open.

We couldn't find the pump to blow up the famous -Water Weenie-.
Next time we'll get some amazing Water-Weenie pictures.

What a fun day on the lake!
