Summer

Boating with grandma and grandpa!  Just seeing how many kids we can fit in the front of the boat.  Apparently all of them for now.  Its going to be another story when they are all teenagers.  They had a blast!  I got burned to a crisp.  I lotioned up all the kids but forgot myself.

Trying to show off my mad skills to the kids.  They were not impressed.

Each of the kids tried the knee board.  They each were able to get up on it pretty easily.  I think we need to try the wakeboard next.

This girl is always smiling no matter what we are doing!  She is always taking care of her brothers.  These boys are lucky!

Michael got in the water and helped all the kids get up on the knee board.  The girls were all worried about him sitting in the water.

Mikey got up on his first try and made it look easy!  He was even turning in the water and everything.  It was pretty fun watching everyone figure it out.

Even though he was shivering he wouldn't give it up.  He was out there for a way long time!  I think he had fun.

Even Quinton gave it a try with Michael hanging off the back of the board to help him.  

Lucas surprised us by wanting to get in the water.   It must have been hot enough that he forgot his fear of water.

Got the Gramms out on the tube.

It was fun going out with my girls!

I kept trying to convince Jessa to trade places with me, but she wouldn't give into my peer pressure.  Jayla switched me places.

Kellan was smart and brought his goggles.  

Quinton was pretty pumped to ride the tube.  He has a bad experience on the knee board when he wrecked so we are glad that he got back out there.

Lucas was out and Quinton just being Quinton!  Love them!
