As we are on a short countdown to the first day of school (5 days!), it seems perfect that so many of our last days of summer have been spent at the lake. Today we joined Dave's youth group for their annual Ski Day. Though there was still plenty of snacking on shore, swimming and boat riding, today was all about the tubing for our girls, so those are the pictures I'll share.
Ella took her first ride on the tube two years ago during Ski Day. She didn't hesitate to hop back on with Dave and enjoyed a wild ride.
We weren't sure about Delia, but after watching Ella, she decided it looked more fun than scary, so she gave the tube a try too! She smiled for her entire ride and told me afterwards that it was like "a water roller coaster!"
The boat we were on actually had dueling tubes, so the girls took their initial rides with some crazy high school boys. They splashed, bumped and watched the boys play leap frog on the tube.
Then we got our whole family out for a ride. This was so fun (and picture-worthy)! Delia kept trying to give a thumbs up while Ella made up songs about us riding on the tube and sang them at the top of her lungs. Will the concept of a very fast and powerful boat dragging you behind it seem normal and allow the girls to get comfortable with sports like wake and knee boarding before they turn 33 (like me)? I hope so!
