Pontoon boat - a double decker one at that!

On Thursday we spent the afternoon with a double decker pontoon boat that had a slide. Everyone but Jules and Colin spent sometime on the boat. The weather was great, in fact it was a little on the cool side but the lake was nice and warm.

Now Eli and Lucas aren't really driving in these pics, but they did get a turn to drive with me a little while later.

The T's come to join in the boating fun.

And Princess Jen and Princess Victoria even joined in.

Noah taking his turn driving.

Tyler enjoyed driving!

Uncle Fred joined in the fun. I was shocked when both Ty and Trevor went off the slide, I didn't get a pic as I was on the top of the boat helping them. They did not enjoy the landing in water part but they recovered well and Ty even got back in the water.

Victoria explored the deck while the boys were swimming and sliding.

The boys enjoyed all the lake activities but the boys were wanting some souvenirs so Friday was slotted as a day of shopping in town and going to some museums. Stay tuned for more posts.

Tubing on the speed boat - Whoo hoo!

So, we spent a day on the lake tubing with a speed boat. It was so fun to watch the kids popping up and down trying to hold on to the tube. We had hand signals worked out, but there were times that I think the boys were holding too tight to signal. It was a gorgeous day, hot really only when we were stopped.
Life vests check!

Are we ready?

Thumbs up = faster! Come on Uncle Andrew let's see how fast this boat can go!

Who's next?

Everyone decided that I serpentine too much when I drive, oops!

Everyone took a turn - I got pics of Andrew's turn. I enjoyed my time but never opened by eyes once!

Stopped for lunch and to pick up more passengers.

One shot of all the boys.

Eli stop pushing Lucas out of the tube.

There we go!

Lunch time is over - back on the lake! Unfortunately, my camera died at this point. I didn't get pics of Jen, Julie, Trevor, or Fred on the boat. The lake was more choppy after lunch so Lucas decided that he was done. He just enjoyed the ride. All the boys had a blast, but all had bumps/bruising and 2 even had rub burns from the tube. We were all feeling it the next day. We were wore out!
