Memorial Day 2012

On our way to Benton Lake for our annual Memorial Day boating time. . . I'm pretty sure we haven't missed a Memorial Day Ski for Brandon since before we were married!  We even had our bachelor/bachelorette parties there over Memorial Day weekend!

It was a pretty warm day, so Grandma Susan & I went into town to get a small pool for the kids.  While we were at the store, I found some $1 water guns . . . what a great investment!  The kids had a blast playing in the little pool & with the guns (once Daddy showed them how to fill the guns up)!!



Uncle Jason joined in the water fun . . . but he used a much bigger "gun."
The kids loved it!

Grandpa got in on the fun too!

It was finally time to take the boat out & do some skiing/tubing!

Daddy took each one out on the tube and they both went one lap around the lake, which was about long enough! 


After the kids were done it was time for Uncle Jason & Daddy to have fun while the kids enjoyed riding in the boat!

My job is to wind the ski rope . . not a great picture (thanks Ken), but I wanted to show I was there & helping!

Look at the beautiful ski rope . . .


Uncle Jason & Melissa skiing together.

After boating was over, it was time for quick dip in the lake.

Look very close in this picture. . . what do you see?
Yep . . that's ME in the water (holding Caleb on the right)!
I know, I can't believe it either!  I'm pretty sure it's been a good 6 years since I've been in the lake. . . oh the things we do for our kids!

After swimming was over, it was back to the pool time to wait for dinner to be served!
I don't think the kids ever get tired of playing with the water!

A beautiful sunset on the way home.
