I think I want a boat when I grow up, or at least a tube!

We also got to go boating one of the days and we had a blast. The babies loved it, maybe not being slathered multiple times with sunscreen and wearing their life jackets the whole time, but they still did great and loved it :) Alli immediately took charge of driving the boat, just to make sure we were safe. She wasn't sure if Scott was fully ready to help her drive so she figured she'd better just take matters into her own hands, alone.
We started off with the tube, thinking that after a while we'd do some waterskiing and wakeboarding, but we never got sick of the tubing so we ended up tubing the whole time.
The guys went first and not surprising, my husband was a little bit of a crazy man.

Then the girls went and the rope connecting the tube to the boat broke so all of a sudden the girls are sinking very quickly into the lake. So this picture is after I climbed back on the tube and my mom and Natalie are swimming back to the boat. Luckily they were able to rig the rope so we could continue our fun.


It got a little bit crazier after that. Ryan went on his own once and tried about every position possible on the tube, and he held on through some pretty sweet air. It was so entertaining to watch, I neglected to get some video. :( Here he is, Mr. Cool, right before the boat starting pulling him. This quickly turned into the best tube trick show I've ever seen.

The babies even got to go on a ride with the mommies, but Alli kind of thought maybe she should go all by herself. She thinks she is pretty big stuff.

And here Ryan and I are on our romantic tube ride. I actually have to say that I stayed on after Ryan got thrown off. These were some pretty intense tube rides, LOVED IT!!!! Ryan jammed his thumb and I thought my neck might break from whiplash, but it was so much fun! And after Ryan got thrown off since I was now the only one on I really didn't know when I was going to touch the water again, I was flying through the air on the tube. It was so much fun!
