Weekend at the Lake....

friday after school we loaded up and headed to the lake... trying to enjoy the last few weekends before summer is officially over and there is not water to play in... snack time on the boat...

and this little dude got to ski behind mr. scott's "fast boat"...

(no we are not as close to the bank as the pictures looks...

he looks like he is about to ski into the rocks and woods)

and this baby girl tried SO HARD to ski and sweet mr. scott has the patience of Job and did everything to try and get her to be able to ski but bless her heart she just doesn't have the arm strength to hold on long enough... maybe next year!

this is a close as she got...

so she opted to just stick with the rocket...

and she loved all the waves and bumps mr. scotts boat has...

and this is the moment my camera battery died... sad face...

i am sad i don't have the pictures from the afternoon...

we met chad, ashley and the kids out on the lake...

the kids had a blast swimming, tubing, and doing the rope swing...

and just for memory sake.... jackson has a new nick name "George"...it is funny now but it was not at the time... he started twisting the rope swing up so that we would spin while going off of it and the last time he spun himself right into a tree.... thank goodness he was fine and only ended up with a bruise and scratch on his leg and hand... i think his life jacket gave him enough padding to save his ribs... and i am just thankful he did not let go and fall on the bank... he let go over the water before he decided he was "hurt".

then while riding the tube.... he went flying from one side of the wave to the other side and then flipped completely upside down in the air and he was still holding on and then he landed up side down on the water with the tube on top of him... he was a little disoriented when he came up but once he realized he was fine.... he thought his "trick" was so cool and loves telling everyone about it.

I am thinking jackson thought he was a cat this weekend and that he had 9 lives... boys... love giving their mamas a heart attack!

We had a great time at the lake and I can't believe that next weekend is it.... however the cool weather this weekend gave me the "fall bug" for sure!
