What has become somewhat of a annual tradition, lots of the cousins gather at Lake Tippy with their kids. This year, we had NINE great grandkids ranging in age from 5 to nearly 2. It was an action packed couple of days!
first up...a fishing boat ride with daddy/uncle bret/bret. kate volunteered to chaperon since five kids were pretty jazzed about this adventure...that seemed like a lot of kids for bret to man on his own!
gracie was on board and then not game at least three times before the trip got under way. once she was allowed next to daddy (and realized they really were going to leave her behind if she didn't stay in the boat) she was good to go.
lots of swimming and jumping...even though only the parents seemed affected by the temp of the water.
and, now that the oldest of the grandkids are getting a bit more adventurous, the water sports are getting even more popular. first up, evan and will on the tube!
then bret and gracie
then zoe and evan took a turn
will and em took it for a spin
then, evan got a little bit braver and took a wild ride with daddy
next up was skiing! this was evan's first attempt at skiing. and, this was as far as he got. he bailed before the boat even turned on.
this was will's first attempt. and, he was SO talented at it, that he actually was able to ski underwater! poor kid was the guinea pig, but we did learn a lot during his attempt. i guess if you have the rope attached the the skis and the boat, the boat will actually continue to drag the child even after they let go of the rope : ). strange it took all of us quite a bit longer to figure out why will wasn't letting go of the rope as we were screaming to let go while he was being drug underwater. opps.
