1st Boat Trip 2015

After finally getting the boat dewinterized this morning we were loading the kids into the car when we realized that the tire on the boat trailer was almost to the point of shreds... ugh!  So, after finally getting that taken care of, instead of leaving the house at 10:30am, we didn't leave until 2:30pm.

We tried to go to Jocassee, but the parking lot was full and they were not allowing anybody else out on the water so next we tried the ramp we usually use for Keowee, but it was also full.  Our last attempt was at a new-to-us ramp and we were fortunate enough to get the very last parking spot!

The kids were bucking broncos by the time we got on the boat and then when they realized that we'd bought a new tube for them, they were crazy with excitement!

It was a huge success!!  After a few rounds of me riding with them, teaching them the hand signals to the driver and what to do if they fell off and how to lean with against the boat turns, I got off(my poor body sure ain't what it use to be!) and let them have at it by themselves!  I think they would have done it all day!  We had a to take a break for a bit and we rode around, swam and let the kids fish before a few more rounds on the tube and then called it a day!  

Such little lake babies!
