On The Lake With The Readers


Jim's Mom and Dad are here for a quick visit. We have done a lot of fishing and touring the various lakes. Today was special. Kevin came with us so we brought the wake board. He is really good at it and wanted to show Grandma and Grandpa.








Then I jumped in (mostly because there is no bathroom on the boat {over share?} and partly because it was warm). I swam around for a minute and then Grandpa decided he wanted to try the knee board. Now let me just tell you that Doug had polio as a kid and now suffers from the effects of post-polio. His back muscles are all but gone and so we worried that he would get hurt.






He did GREAT! He didn't do it for too long hoping he would be able to walk tomorrow. We were all impressed. When Grandma jumped in the water to swim with Kev, we thought we could talk her into going on the board, but no luck. Maybe next time.
There were pretty dragonflies in blue and gold everywhere. They were cool to see. All things considered it was a good day at a very big lake.

You are too funny!! Which lake were you at this time? How fun to see grandpa and grandma in the lake. That is something you don't see very often....at least in my family!

My kids are pretty lucky to have 2 sets of Grandparents that would jump in the lake to play with them.
