The Lake

For my birthday we decided to join Rachel and Chad at the lake. The kids were pumped and couldn't wait to get there. Luckily, the lake is only about 30 minutes away, but to them it might as well have been hours away between stopping for gas for the boat and lunch.

Being in a Texas lake is VERY different from the beautiful crystal clear lakes of Arkansas...I missed home that day! Those of you who have seen them both know that there is a huge difference.

As you can see Lulu was dressed for the part. Those of you who know Lulu well, you know that those sunglasses fit her personality to a T!

To my surprise Emma loves the boat, in fact I think she finds it very relaxing and when the boat is in motion, this is her look. She's not upset...she just taking it all in and enjoying it. All the kiddos enjoyed jumping off the back and swimming around the boat. We were able to ride on the tube for a bit, but not near long enough for the kids.

Jake and Chase of course went into 'cool dude' mode and enjoyed every minute of the ride. Lauren and Emma even managed to take a nap on Aunt Sissy. 

Even though my kids don't remember it, they have been on a boat when they were smaller. They are ready to go again, and I think we have plans to go in 2 weeks. I will probably refrain from telling them because I will NEVER hear the end of it!!!

I am so glad you are back. I asked Haley last week if you were okay because I was worried. Isn't it sacrilege for a native Arkansan to have a Texas Star on their house?
