this post is about a week late, but it was such a fun weekend that i wanted to blog about it. mark was still recovering from jetlag, but his parents bought a boat so we really wanted to be there for launch and first ride on the lake SOOOO we loaded up and headed to the lake. it was so great. sadly, sarah had the camera on the boat so i don't have any pictures of our first ride, but everyone loves the boat and was all smiles. mark spent the majority of his weekend getting aquainted with the boat and learning how to park it. there were a few scary moments and close calls, but for the most part he did a great job!! he LOVES the boat and has been making plans to get back soon.
i did manage to get a few cute pictures of the kids that i wanted to share...
thanks abby for sharing your old fishing pole with olivia. she felt so special.
and this was his reaction...
the BIG news from the weekend is that olivia rode the jet ski!!!!!! yes, if you will remember she would not go near the lake last year, but we somehow convinced her to give it a try and she agreed. she and mark went for a very SLOW and calm ride, but it is progress and we are sooooooo excited that she might actually enjoy the lake this summer not just stand on the dock and sweat!
she and mark making there way over to the jet ski and she is smiling not screaming!!and they're off... (at about 8 mph)
it was just a great weekend away time to laugh, relax, and of course spend time with our special family. we are looking forward a fun summer with lots of of time at the lake. nana and gramps, get the purple jet ski ready because that is what olivia wants to do next!! :)
