We went up to the lake today with the thoughts of only staying a couple of hours. We found some friends that were at Cousin Camp with their grandparents and scored a ride on a super cool raft! Then, our friends' dad's boat broke down and the kids had to try to pull us back to the nearest shore, which was quite a task. But, luckily, grandma was on the way to save us in the pontoon and we got a tow back to their dock! After all that excitement, cousin camp was going up for lunch and our family headed back to our dock for lunch as well! After we ate and the kids swam, we took C out to do some skiing but found it was SO crowded that it was probably a bit dangerous so we packed everything back up and came back to the dock to get in the truck and come home. Then, as if we hadn't had enough unplanned events, a piece of the boat lift broke and we couldn't get the boat to stay up. A couple hours later, M had rigged up the lift and was able to get the boat up and keep it up, but it will have to be fixed before we go back next time because the lift won't do it again! Sheesh!!! What was supposed to be a quick trip to the lake turned into an all day event - so much for getting anything done to prepare for vacation! But, the kids had lots of fun, so maybe it'll be worth it!

Attempting to pull the boat to shore - good thing there are a
lot of strong swimmers in that group! |

He had no trouble getting up on skis, and would have been
able to stay up if it weren't for the HUGE waves out there! |
