This is where we spent our days while at the lake. We had a wonderful sun shade to escape from the sun for a while. We had a shallow spot to park the boats and play and a nice area deep enough to set up the slide. We were in a quiet area with very little traffic and were able to swim and play in the water in between boat rides and skiing.
Ryan played hard every day. He loved being in the water and was comfortable in his life jacket. We didn't have to fight with him to keep it on which was wonderful. THis picture was taken as we got ready to out in the boat. Ryan pulled his little arms inside his life jacket and layed his head on the side of the boat and went to sleep.
Benjamin also loved to swim. He was not very interested in tryig to water ski or knee board or even ride the tube. He played in the water and on the slide all day long - oh he also enjoyed riding the wave runner.
As long as Ryan had his noodle he was happy. He kicked his little feet and swam all over the little cove we occupied during the day. Benjamin learned that his life jacket would hold him up and he floated/swam right a long side of Ryan.
The slide was a big hit this year with everyone! Here Lanny and Seth played king of the hill...we didn't know who was having more fun: the boys or everyone else watching them.During our trip Tia got up skiing, Lanny was up on the knee board, Tyler learned how to knee board (he even started on his tummy in the water and pulled himself up to his knees) and Ryan rode on the tube with Nana behind the boat. It was a wonderful trip to spend quality time with our family and close friends.
