We've just returned from our "vacation" to Bull Shoals lake that we take each July with all of the family. Kyle, Sara, and their kids were able to go this time, and the kids had a blast! The weather couldn't have been nicer, either. What a great week! Here are a few highlights. . .
I'm thinking we should submit this picture to Super Soft life jackets so they could use it for advertisement. They aren't going to find any cuter models, that's for sure.
The kids did their usual jumping off "Snoopy" but also found this other, higher, cliff to jump off. They measured it, and it was 25 feet from the water! These kids are fearless.
The whole crew back on Snoopy.
Kyla's first visit to Bull Shoals. I think she enjoyed herself.
Russ' swordfish 'catch' -- no, we didn't cook it.
Grandma Jo treated all of the kids to ice cream from the marina. Doesn't get much better than that!
Sidewalk chalk drawings in Grandma Jo's driveway. . .
Lots of relaxing boat rides. . .
Skiing. . .
Kneeboarding. . .
And of course, TUBING! These kids could tube all day long. Thankfully, Grandma Jo & Grandpa Denny and "Grandma" Lori and "Grandpa" Keith are very generous to give them lots and lots of rides.
Violet especially loves tubing. Just giggles and giggles the whole time.
We discovered Kyla is a pretty big fan of the tube as well!
The older kids perfected the "tube over a tube" technique and actually went over each other while double tubing. Crazy, right?
Sometimes just watching the tube rides was good enough, too.
There was LOTS of hide-and-go-seek tag to be played each evening. My boys are really into this right now and play all the time.
Lake vacations are definitely one of my favorite parts of summer. I've always enjoyed spending time at the lake, but it's become even more fun because of these 4:
A huge thanks to Grandma Jo and Grandpa Denny for once again opening up their lake home to our crazy crew, and thank you to Keith and Lori for being our second set of "Lake Grandparents"! We had a wonderful week at the lake!
