Boating Fun!!

We went on one of our friend's boat at the beginning of the summer. The next weekend we had our own boat. We absolutely love it and it is a great way to spend quality time together as a family. We are out on the water every weekend. The kids love to be in the water. They have both been on the tube and are pretty scared unless they are on it with us. We listened to the last duck game on the boat. :-) Enjoy the pictures!!

Shane and Madison's favorite thing to do in the lake is to have Eric take the boat in the middle of the lake and turn off the motor. They both go to the diving platform on the back of the boat and they jump in and go swimming. Here is Shane swimming in the middle of the lake and Madison playing on the tube.

Madison decided that she wanted to go by herself. She was very brave. Unfortunately she didn't have enough weight and when Eric took off and she went straight into the water and fell off the tube. We had to turn around and go get her. She had fun despite that. Last weekend I found an inter tube that is a car, so next time we go out we will need to try that one. I think that the kids will like that much better.

As you can see we have a lot of fun on the boat. Much more boating to come for our family!!
