Summer del Lago

Our Summer del Lago ended on a high note on Labor Day Weekend.  We had some old baseball buddies of Jackson's and their families join us for a day and night, then Gigi, Boom and Cami came up after that.  So many fun memories were made!

Brock, Jackson and Gavin were ready to hit the tube!

While some of us were on a boat ride, Brock and Jason tried out the Wave Runner.
Before they took off, I heard Brock say, "you're not gonna go too fast, right, dad?"

Gavin and Glenn joined them on the Sea Doo and enjoyed zipping around Texoma.

Karen, Angie and I got to catch up, which was so nice.  We used to spend hours upon hours together every weekend at baseball--I miss them!

The boys tubed all afternoon and loved every second of it.

The girls didn't want to be shown up, though, so they broke out their hula skills on the water.

Later that afternoon, we anchored the boat in a cove.  The kids got a wild streak and swam to shore.

Safety minded the entire time they were on land!  My Meme would have been proud.

On lake time.  It's tough to beat.

We finally tore ourselves out of the water and went to get cleaned up. I'm so glad that we did because we found this amazing band at The Island!  The kids danced the night away.

Gavin, Brock and Jason were leading the way!

The next morning the boys did some fishing...

but mostly just enjoyed a pretty morning on the dock.
Jared misses hanging out with these cool dads, too!

After Brock and his family went home, the rest of us went out on the boat.
My girls!

Gavin and J tubed all over the lake.

Love these handsome boys.

A few hours later, my littlest arrived!  Pigtails and those sunglasses--just the coolest kid.

"Yeehaw!"

We played until the sun was setting and then called it a day.

The next morning was our last day on the lake.  Time to learn to ski.  Lila was up first, then Jackson, then Madison.  After 30 rounds, we had all three able to get up and ski at least 100 yards! 
Great success!

Cami didn't want to be left out, so we made sure she got plenty of time on the tube with Bubbie.

We played until late that afternoon.  No one wanted to go home! It was our best summer in a long time.  Cheers to the fall, but summer, you will be missed.
