Mommy and Daddy "vacation"

Joshua and I were able to get away to the lake this last weekend. Cooper was with grandma and grandpa Meyer. We went to Melvern lake with some friends. Melvern is about a 30 - 45 min. drive from our house. Joshua and I borrowed mom and dads pop-up camper so we did not have to "tent it" in the heat. We had a great time and are already trying to plan another trip to Council Grove lake.
This weekend was a nice get away for us. I came home tired and sore, but would do it all over again. I have not laughed so hard that I cried in a long time. Let me tell you, I did a lot of "crying" over the weekend.

Lea & Natalie: we took a "1st beer" picture. We didn't remember to take a "last beer" end of trip picture.

The whole "everyone wear red" was not planned!

Sitting on the shore

I tried to wake board. About my 7th try I almost had it, but by that time my body was too tired to keep going. I had planned on getting back out there again, but time flies when you are having fun and we didn't get around to it.

This tube was very cool (to watch). I will admit, I didn't ever try it. I love to be on the water, but not much of a fan of being IN the water. I did try the wake board because I had never done it before. This tube is called a Gyro-tube. You actually have to crawl in it. The best way for me to describe it is to think of putting your head in the bottom of an ice cream cone and letting your feet hang out the top of it. You have handles inside that you hold onto. If the boat is going straight you just follow along, but when the boat starts to turn and hit wakes the tube starts to spin and you are "rolling around" inside. Everyone loved it!!!!! I loved watching it.
