Boating with Buddies

Lots of pictures of the kids with the friends they've brought boating with us the past month.  Several boating trips are captured, which will be boring to anyone except the parents of my kid's friends!

We are heading out in the morning for a week-long trip to Tablerock Lake and Branson with Ryan's parents and sister's family.  They just drove in from Utah today, so we are very excited to have visitors with us! 

Lindsey brought Carly along, and they had a blast riding fast on the tube.







Brevan loves going solo on the tube because he can catch more air!  He's our biggest daredevil while tubing, but hasn't been able to master wakeboarding or skiing yet.


We have a tradition of letting the kids jump off the back of the boat while it's still going when we are done for the day.  Since the boat's propeller is underneath the boat they don't have the danger of getting hurt (besides the fact that they are jumping off a fast-moving vehicle)!  It's probably not the smartest thing to have the kids do, but they sure get a kick out of it.

Madelyn, Chloe and Will came with us one evening.


We got both tubes hooked up at the same time, so Will and Brevan rode one tube while Lindsey rode the other one (which was having puncture issues this day, so it had a big air bubble in the middle that kept hurting her neck.  Eventually she just got on the same tube as the big boys).





There goes Will!






There goes Brevan!
