Memorial weekend is all about friends and family.  Today on the boat we had a little bit of both.  We started off the morning with the boys.  Gordon, Mike, Ethan, and I (emma I know you were there, but then I cannot say the boys).  We went out to the lake at 6:30 and had it all to ourselves for a few hours.  Still not sure how the lake was not busy, but I am not complaining.   There were what seemed like 50 camping trailers on the shore, but I guess they were still all recovering from the night before. 

Around 10Am the ladies joined us.  Tiffany (my wife) and our three girls came with Sarah and Landis.  When we  add up all the people we had 12 of us in the boat (7 of which are under age 5)

Today was a big day for some of our beginers.  Mike got up and rocked it… had a few hard spills, and I am sure when I see him at church he will be walking a little slow!  Highlite of the day was when Ethan (5 yrs.) wakeboarded for the first time.  He got up like a champ, and is going to be amazing in a few short years.  Willing to bet he will be passing up “pop’s” (Gordon) real quick.   Every first time rider gets a shirt, and Ethan is proud owner of one now.

Other riding highlites included Tiffany taking her standard 30 minute run.  We also had  a good hour of wake surfing!!  Am starting to like it more and more… easier on the body and not too big of a chance of hurting when falling.

7 hours in the boat and now going to happily relax on the couch!!  Memorial Monday should be a good time, there is a guys boat run in the works!!

Praise the Lord for another great day on the water!!
