Cousin Fun: Boating

Holly and Shane’s family joined us for a boating trip on Saturday. We were happy that the weather was gorgeous and they actually got to get in the boat this year. It was a huge improvement over last year. Their older kids were all pretty excited about learning how to ski and/or kneeboard. Nathan was a natural at skiing and got up on his first try, and Taylor mastered the kneeboard well enough to be doing spins by the end of the day. Jacob wasn’t quite as enthusiastic to get out there, but he tried skiing and had some fun on the kneeboard. Nate loves teaching beginners, so it was a fun day for him. He was impressed with how well they did. Rachel and Bryton got in a few rides on the tube and spent lots of time with my girls playing at the beach. A good time was had by all.




















Even though we had loads of fun, we were reminded why we never go boating on Saturdays. The beach was packed and there were tons of boats out on the water. It made me more fully appreciate how lucky we are that Nate’s work hours are flexible enough to let us do fun things during the week.
