Family Fun

My brother Rob and his family came to visit us last Friday through Sunday. When they arrived on Friday we decided to have a little bit of a laid back day. We went the the bakery outlet and got our huge grocery basket of day old bread and took the kids down to feed the birds. The kids loved it but I can't say Rob did.

Then on Saturday we took them out on the boat. It was so fun. Jared and Berek wake boarded. Berek is getting really good at going in & out of the wake and Jared is hitting some good air. I love watching him. Sometimes I forget I'm suppose to be driving the boat!

Rob surprised everyone and jumped in fully clothed, even his socks. That was the one shocker for the day. Then later on he stripped down to his undies and rode in the tube. I guess I should explain--he forgot his swim suit and didn't realize what he would be missing out on in the boat so he didn't go buy one, I guess he didn't need one by the way the day turned out. My sis-in-law, Brandi, and I rode on the tube. First time for me in 3 years!!! I was a little chicken I guess, okay alot. It was so fun though. She ended up flying out of her seat and on my lap. I was laughing so hard I had to have Jared stop the boat 'cause I couldn't hold on. The day was great, all the kids had a turn on the tube, and I can say it was the funnest boat trips we have had yet!! Thaks Brandi for taking and sending me the pictures!

Happy 4th

I don't have any pictures for this post. The reason why??????? I was having too much fun myself to remember to take the pictures. We went on another campout with our fun, exciting, awesome friends, Amparans!! We started on Tuesday morning. The kids and I got up and were out of the house by 8:00 am. We had to make sure we got our camp spot. So, we arrived at Fish hook (our favorite place to boat now) by 8:45 am and set up camp. I was wondering how it would go with me and the kids setting up the tent and getting everything put together, but it worked. We rand home to get another load and were finally camping by 12:30. Jared got off work by 2:30 and our early weekend began. We boated till late that night.
Wed. morning Makenna was in the 4th of July parade so we went to that and of course got lots of candy. I will post her pic later. Then quickly back to camp again for more boating. It was so crowded that day it wasn't worth it so we pulled all the kids on the tube, and later that evening the adults & babies all went out till about 9:00 pm. I loved that time of night on the river. It was the best. Then back to camp for SMORES. Camping is not official till you have smores.
Now Thursday. We got up at 7:00 am, ate some pancakes, and began the last day of fun. The water was so beautiful and smooth. It was the best morning ever. This was Jareds moment. The water was great, no boats around, so he had a perfect wakeboarding morning. He is getting awesome. I am jealous! Then all the kids got their chance at either the wakeboard or skis. Berek is doing great too. He makes it look easy.
It was another great camping trip and can't wait for one more... WE LOVE TO CAMP!!
