Twin Lakes

The next weekend over the 19th we went to Twin Lakes with my family. We've tried to make it a tradition to go every year over the 24th, this year it finally worked out! My parents took their boat & trailer, & us kids tented it. The grand kids of course slept in the trailer with grandma & grandpa!

Watermelon smiles!

notice the bandaid on Carter's chin, he totally ate it down this big hill that him & Dac were riding their bikes down. He is lucky alls he got was a few scrapes because he hit hard, it even scrapped up his bike a little bit!!!

Justin got the privilege of going with the kids on the tube this time around. As you can see Carter was doing thumbs up 90% of the time.

Justin jumping the wake, he actually landed this one. In all the other pictures I either missed him all together in the picture or hes crashing :)

Brandon & Dac. Dac got up on the wake board so easily.

At night we all sat down on the shore & watched the Clifton fireworks. The fireworks were so spread out, that we started a game of guessing what coloring the next firework would be, the kids thought that was a pretty entertaining game!

It's so much fun boating especially now that all the kids are getting old enough to kind of do their own things. Dac & Tay love to knee board. They are pros at 3-60's & going over the wake...Its nice because my dad has it set up so that 2 people can knee board or whatever at the same time, that way everyone gets turns faster {kids tend to be impatient sometimes}. Me & Tenley knee boarded quite a few times,we even kind of crashed one time & she still wasn't afraid to go again- We finally talked Carter into knee boarding {he didn't want to try it this year, even though he had done it in the years past} so literally as we were loading the boat, he got on the knee board with me & of course, loved it!!! I think we would boat all day long, every day! I look forward to next year :) !
