summer fun at the lake

We knew we wanted to get to the lake as much as possible this summer.  We both love it and the boys do too!  After two failed attempts, we finally made it down this past weekend.  It was extra fun because all my siblings were there too!  It felt like old times, with the addition of 5 kids under three.

Due to my pregnant state, I wasn't allowed to do any skiing, but I enjoyed sunbathing in the boat.  My favorite part was holding Silas.  Every time the boat started, he quickly laid his head on my chest until we turned it off and then he would sit up and yell, "All done."  He's still getting use to the boat, but I loved all the snuggle time.

All the kiddos, minus Clara, tried out the tube.  Amos loved it and rode a second time.

He also liked watching Daddy ride the wakeboard, but when asked if he was going to ride it, he nervously laughed out a "No" and told us he was too little.

Amos has several favorites from the lake.  His others are driving the boat with Gramps

and jumping into the water!
