Wakeboarding and Tubing with the Bullocks

The Bullocks are Lindsay's soon-to-be in-laws. Not that we needed convincing, but inviting the entire Nelson clan to a day at the lake was a very strategic move to convert us all to the way of Bullock-ites. Rock on!

I tried wakeboarding for the first time ever! It's a lot easier to get up than waterskiing but I kept doing nose-dives because I couldn't get myself to turn the board to the side. I'm too used to waterskiing/skiing. You know, feet facing forward. Ploughing water isn't easy but I insisted on doing it every time. A little more practice, though, and I'll have it, no problem! (We've been invited back :) but we'd do it sans enfants... It is a 3 hr trip...)

We also went tubing. Always tons of fun. Screaming makes everything more fun. (Kyle has some pics on his Facebook profile that I'm getting from him.) Lindsay and I wanted a nice, mellow ride. We ended off by diving from "tube" to "tube!"

Taylor was happily occupied all day with enormous amounts of food, toy trucks, sand and water. He wasn't so fond of the boat ride.

Averi was also happy as a clam in the water. Or should I say happy as a fish? Anyway, she adored the boat ride.

where did you get that adorable floaty that Avi is in? Claire would love it. Do you think I could find it in the sates?

I have the same question that Eva does. Where can I get that floaty thing for my kids? Too cute.

It's my sis-in-law's. She said Walmart was having a sale on all their seasonal stuff. $5!
