The kids went up to my Dad and Barb's on Tuesday last week to play. They alway try to cram in as many fun activities as they can. This time they included...playing at the beach and the park, campfires, crafts, fishing, and lots of games. Dave and Beckett and I joined them on Friday afternoon. We had a wedding to attend on Saturday and thought we might be able to squeeze in some fun too :) Little did I know that I would find myself on a tube behind the back of the boat with my husband behind the wheel trying to dump me!!! It has been a long time since I have tubed and my delts are feeling it. The kids did an incredible job! Both of them were able to go by themselves at almost full speed. They also had a major breakthrough. I think they always knew in there mind that the life jacket was to help them float...but trusting it out in the middle of the lake is another thing. By Sunday both of them were jumping off the boat from about 100-150 meters out and swimming to the dock(through some pretty nasty weeds). The first time Auntie Anne and I did it with Walker he couldn't stop telling everyone he had swam a WHOLE FOOTBALL FIELD! Unlike Aunie Anne I am not an olympic swimmer and I wasn't wearing a life jacket...and let me tell you a football field is a long way when you are moving at snails pace with a 4 year old who is chit chattin' and doggy paddling with a life jacket on! Lots of memories made for sure!
