No not of the tube... the boat! We got it out of storage and now we can hardly stand to miss a sunny, non-18 hour work day! The lake is like bath water and the (very intense) swim lessons are paying off! As of this week we have 4 kids who can swim, and one who isn't afraid of the water and 3 that will knee board! Yippee!
Anna was knee boarding and had been on so long we were telling her to let go of the rope (so she would fall in) so she let go, and just kept on riding, she had such good balance that she shrugged her shoulders and finally took hold of the rope again. Eventually, we had to just stop the boat...
Quinn is jumping off the boat and into the lake - every time we're not looking.
Lexsie has learned the fine art of using the bathroom on a boat. It took a lot of convincing as we have been telling her for weeks not to go in her pants (and she hasn't) then all of a sudden we are telling her to put her bum in the water and go in her pants. Hmmmmm.
Kaid has blossomed this summer. From not even wanting to put his head in the water to swimming with no life jacket and getting out on the knee board in the middle of a big lake by himself. Way to go dude!
Bekah has turned into a bathing beauty. I'm not sure, but it seems over night she is carrying herself differently, and acting very much the teenager - I'm really not sure I'm ready for this kind of thing! Besides, I really don't think I qualify in years to have a child who acts this way!

I won't bore you with all the knee boarding video, but I am so proud that all the big kids gave it a good ole' try.
