Summer Splash

We spent a wonderful Labor Day weekend playing in the water with our friends. The Bedells invited us to go boating with them on Lake Hortensia -- the kids' first ride on a "fast" boat.Lucy even went out on the "taco" tube with her Dad! He got worn out faster than she did -- she convinced Cade Bedell to ride with her when he was done. I think she could have stayed out there all day, pulled behind the boat. Next summer, kneeboard? Or even waterskis?


Jeanne Hardy and Beckett came with us, which made everything even more fun. Jeanne and Beckett and Gavin and I were more into the "slow" boats on this trip. Gavin may be four, but he's still small enough to fit in the kayak with me, and we had fun paddling around. Beckett found it all so relaxing he fell asleep in the boat.
The boys didn't even need the water to have fun with the kayaks.
Such a wonderful way to celebrate the last official day of summer . . . now autumn can come!
