Roosevelt Lake!!

So many of my childhood memories are at this very lake! We spent nearly every weekend every summer at the lake sometimes for weeks at the time. It was SO MUCH FUN!! Odd as it is, I have never taken my kids to the lake, I am a little paranoid and just have thought they were too young. This Summer, my Parents and Sister have gone many times with her kids and they have had a blast so we decided it was time to give it a go...AND it was a BLAST!!! I am sad I waited so long to take them. I didn't realize how much I had missed the lake until I was back on it. I could spend hours just riding around on a boat. My cousins Aaron and April and their two kids came with their little boat and Chloe' and her kids and Our family. My poor Momma had just been to the lake the weekend before and sunburnt her lips and she still had blisters...just in case you were wondering why we let her put zinc practically all over her face!! Claira and Lexi braved the tube. Claria was not too fond of it. I think she prefers swimming and riding in the boat rather than tubing!

Erick and I took a load of kiddos to the shore to swim with April and then we went on a little boat ride to find my parents and the rest of the gang. Well....we stopped and could not get the motor going again. So I had to spray this starter fluid on the motor. Well, I could not get the cap back on and rahter than help, Erick sits and poses for pictures that my sister is snapping without me knowing. There are a few more, where my lower region is the center of the shot and Erick is giving a thumbs up!! During this flattering photo session, I am griping at Erick to help me and he just keeps smiling and laughing that my booty is being caught on film!! What a NUT!

Derick was ALL ABOUT the tube and anything we would let him do. He wanted to ski but we didn't have kids ski's. NEXT TIME BUBBA!

I have not water skiied in over 7 years. So I wanted to try, I told Erick to have that camera ready because IF I got up I did not know how long I would stay up and I wanted documentation that I in FACT did it!! Well, I got right up and skiied away! I LOVE to Ski and can't wait to go again hopefully SOON!!

All in all we had a PERFECT lake day. The weather was great. The kids had a BLAST! Noone got hurt and we were with FAMILY. To me there is not a better way to spend the day. Erick is itching for a boat now!! Some day....Some Day!
