The kids played awesome together, and the weather was perfect. Sure, we had some boat troubles on Saturday (as in... after hours of effort, we realized it wasn't going to happen), but we totally enjoyed just floating around the lake and letting the kids jump from the dock. Brian and the two Jeffs seemed to have a blast tossing the kids as high as they'd let them... which for my two is as high as they possible could go. (Asa even jumped off the top deck of the boat dock!)
We had a pretty impressive water balloon fight. I must admit, it was a bit unfair that I could launch them at whomever I wanted and no one really wanted to pelt the pregnant woman with water balloons!
On Sunday, Jeff and Kierstin brought their boat and we took turns tubing, skiing, and wake boarding. I must say, I was a bit jealous as I really really wanted to try wake boarding. Maybe next summer. At first, we put Addison and Asa on the two tubes together, but we quickly learned that Asa wanted to go waaayy faster than Addison was comfortable with. So, Asa got to ride doubles with Daddy. Jeff (Scheule) was able to instill just the perfect amount of fear in the kid to make it fun! Asa even gave skiing a try. It reminded me of just how miserable learning to ski was. Wow. I'd forgotten. But, he gave it three good tries, which I thought was great.
A big thank you to Ellen and Brian for inviting us! We really needed it. Replacing email, cell phones, laptops and television with friends, laughter, water and sun was true therapy!
