All day at the lake!

  Went out on the boat yesterday, met up with our friends and their boat, and had a blast!!  We bought our boat a little over a month ago but because our lives are so busy yesterday was our third time boating as a family.  It was definitely the best time so far, though, all due to the company we were with, our close friends the Strongs.  They also have a boat but theirs is a massive pontoon boat that seats a good 10-15 people comfortably.  Yesterday in their boat they had five adults, four kids, two dogs, and space to spare.
  Once we found the cove we wanted to swim in, we anchored the boats, threw out the Strong's water mat and jumped on in!   The sun was hot and the water was great.  Makes for a perfect day out on the lake.  Kate hadn't been in the water yet this year and was perfectly happy extending her absence from it.  I, however, was not.  I knew she would have a great time once she was in, so in she went!
  And I was right!  Once she was in she didn't want to come out.  She was super clingy at first but once she relaxed she had a blast.

  The time went by super fast, it seems to when you are having fun, and we finally headed out at 7:30.  We hope the weather stays nice and hot so we can go out again next week.
