Our favorite week of the summer is here! We were able to rent a boat for a few days and spent some time at Deer Creek which is my happy place! We had amazing weather and perfect water. We got up early and on the lake before most others are even awake which is the way to find the best water of the day. Josh, Rease, Rhen and Liev all slalom skied right off the bat and everyone did amazing. I'm so impressed with Liev especially getting up on the ski almost his first try! It's incredible what a little testosterone in a kids body can do for his muscles and abilities! Rhen and Rease are both excellent skiers as well and it's always fun to watch them out there.
Keen loves to wakeboard and got up right away and out of the wake. He's making so much progress with his skills too! Beck and Desh used the double skis and both got up on their own. This is the first year Desh has been able to get up on his own and he was so proud!
It's one of my favorite things as a mom to watch my kids to things that they love and excel at! It makes my heart full!
The boat we rented included a banana boat with it and OH MY GOSH was it fun! I remember riding these as a kid but haven't for so many years. We had a BLAST on that thing and the kids loved bouncing off the back of it with every bump we hit. Wow so fun!
By the end of the days, the kneeboards are always the go-to. Rease, Rhen, Liev and Keen did doubles on doubles knee boarding. It was lots of trial and error, but eventually they got to stand up on the back of both boards with another rider on both of them. They're so funny!
Liev took charge of the rope and became second mate to Josh this week. We had the most beautiful days on the lake - so picturesque!
We feel so lucky to have this time together as a family and the chance to keep our traditions going. It's something we look forward to all year long and we had an amazing week on the lake together! Lots of Love of this family of mine!
