Skis, tubes, and sweet treats

Friday afternoon at the lake gave me the opportunity to have some water sport fun. The kids sacrificed a few minutes of tubing so I could ski. First, though, we had to make preparations. It’s important to put weight in the front of the boat when it’s pulling someone, especially an adult man on a single slalom ski.

I wasn’t sure how I’d do, but I managed to get up on 1 ski easily, and felt right at home.

Then it was back to the tube. Molly picked up right where she left off.

And she caught some air.

Most people might close their mouth when the spray is hitting them in the face, but not Molly. She can’t stop smiling.

I joined Leah on the tube again.

Emmie was warming to the idea of tubing, especially since she got to go with her dad.

And she even smiled.

Uncle J taught JJ some tubing moves.

Hands up

After tubing, we got some visitors. Great Uncle Ted and Great Aunt Jeannie joined us for a bit.

Great visit

And after dinner it was time for some sweet treats. Uncle J made a fire so we could make s’mores.

They were shockingly good.

Emmie preferred the technique where you light your marshmallow on fire, then blow it out after the outside is nicely blackened.

I like this picture of Molly, Uncle J, and the fire. So serene.

JJ liked the picture too, and decided to insert himself into it.
