The Lake.

On Sunday we went out to our good friends Mary and Nathan's family lake. We had never taken Elena to the lake before so we were very excited. It was a beautiful day, not quite as hot as it had been all week, just perfect for the lake! Elena seemed to want in the water from the very beginning.

Elena and Drake (who is 4 days younger) playing.

Robert getting ready to hit up the Jet ski.

Though I am not on the jet ski in this picture I did get on with Robert shortly after. Let me just say that these are not normal jet skis - they get up to 80 mph! They are so fast! It was kind of scary but very very fun!!! We got it up to 70mph with both of us on it! It felt like we weren't even touching the water - so cool!

Elena and Drake enjoying a snack...

and a beverage!! Ha ha -- can you tell these are Mary and I's kiddos?! Too funny!

We got Elena a new pink life jacket for the occasion! -- Looks like it will fit for a while! :)

Us on the boat. Don't worry we were stopped and the life jacket was right next to me.

We were taking Robert out to try wake boarding. Now he has never done ANYTHING behind a boat so he was a little nervous. So we had Nathan's friend show him how easy it was:

Are you kidding me?? This guy was amazing!! Here he is giving Robert some tips.

At first there was a lot of this:

But then this happened:

He was so excited! Great job babe!

By the time we were back Elena was worn out from cheering on Daddy.

We had a blast and hope to get back out there several more times this year!!
