We got to spend a long weekend at Pearl Lake with the Rubles at the end of July. Mom, Dad and I had all 5 boys for half the weekend and thankfully the weather was awesome! The boys swam and played and swam some more - they were exhausted!
We had lots of Mable rides - it is clear that these kids are gonna be just like us - the boat driver and rider are bored before they are ready to be done!
Love their wind blown hair!
Grammy and Buppa got a canoe from some neighbors at home and the boys were pumped to try it out.
Of course there are paddles for everyone - too bad we didn't let them out of the bay!
They do look like they know what they are doing though...
Another year older and lots more independence...
They take the paddle boat out to the raft and tie it up all on their own.
Thumbs up all around!
Also new this year - dragging behind the booze cruise. This was how we spent our childhood (partly because there wasn't enough room for all of us in the boat - but mostly because it was more fun to float and play on the tubes vs. a slow ride around the lake.
We were taking bets on who was going to accidentally go in the water first --- I don't have a picture of it - but it was Isaac (duh!) Then it became a game :)
So glad that they love the water and are so fearless (with life jackets!)
Rescue mission - the littles fell in!
TJ did a great job all weekend of helping all of the guys when needed!
The big boys and I slept in the tent one night - bedtime selfie!
Some more firsts from the weekend - some water skiing on shore and James even tried it behind the boat! Jimmy also swam without his life jacket --- again, clearly not afraid!
He figured it out and is swimming like a fish. Still happy to wear the jacket - but glad to see such progress!
