Just Before School Starts...




We got 1 last run in before school started and took my brother's family skiing. It was a beautifully calm day and the best water we've had in a long time. His 2 oldest boys, Colton and Shaun, got up on kneeboards together and it was so much fun to see them out there. It kind of makes you realize how old everyone is getting!

Savannah loves the water and is getting less and less nervous of everything all the time. She usually gets in while we are changing skiers, etc.


Justin, their youngest boy, also got up on a kneeboard. He got up last year too, but he loved it all over again. It was pretty funny watching him plane before the boat was even going!


Nate loves the water and is very curious about everything. We had to chase him down from up the shore a few times trying to convince him to hang around where we were.

We eat lunch on the beach and usually the kids play around while we're there. This time was especially fun because they had just purchased fishing nets and there were a ton of baby fish swimming around. I love this picture as Shaun is intensely trying to catch the fish, Justin is really hoping he does, and Ashley is eating her sandwich with her heel popped knowing that if Shaun does catch a fish, he'll show her first! The fish along with the seagulls kept everyone entertained for a long while!


Savannah and her cousin, Ashley, play pretty good together, even when Savannah throws sand when she's not supposed to!

And of course everyone was wore out afterward!
