Lake Mead Weekend

We took the family to the lake this weekend. We left Sat. to Lake Mead and boated all day, we had tinfoil dinners, and played games in our trailer. Sunday we woke up had breakfast, packed up the camper and then boated ALL DAY, for 7 hours. The water was amazing, it was like glass most of Sunday and barely any waves on Sat. For those of you who know Lake Mead this never happens, it is usually so windy especially in the afternoon! We called this our Mexico vacation, cause we couldn't go down to the Cabana this year. It was so much fun to spend time with our kids, they are all growing up and it is so much fun! On the way home we had some trailer hitch problems, but thanks to Brad's parents driving down and rescuing us, everything was fine...it just took 5 hours to get home instead of 2!

Brad normally doesn't go on the Hot Dog, but I can't take Emily so he was a sport and went with her and Izzy. (I think he secretly enjoys it!)

Holly had a good time. We were worried how she would do, but she loved the water and kept a close eye on everyone and loved to bark at the fish and ducks!


My friend Jaylin came down and spent Sat with us. She had a good time learning to WakeBoard and ride the Hot Dog!


MaKayla learned to Wake Board this year, she is doing so great! She can get up really easily and is learning to control it and steer. Next year she says she will try to learn to skii!



Emily just couldn't get enough of the water, anytime we would stop she would climb to the back and sit down and put her feet in. She was so funny, anytime someone would fall off the skii's she would say "where 'd go"

Izzy loved the Hot Dog more than anyone! She must have spent at least 3 hours riding on it! She even got hurt pretty bad once when she fell off and the rope got her, but she climbed back on and was ready to go!

Here is a video of MaKayla wake boarding. I got a longer one, but can't get it to work for some reason, she is doing so great!
