Lake Mead Trip

Makenna had the last week of September off, so we decided to take one last "summer" vacation this year. Lake Mead was wonderful. The weather was perfect, not too hot and the water was still warm, the boat and the jetskis ran without any problems, and everyone had a lot of fun.

This year Makenna and Gunner really loved riding the tube. Every ride they held their "thumbs up" the whole ride because they did not think they were going fast enough

Gunner doing his usual - throwing rocks. At home, at school, anywhere he can find a rock he will throw (preferably at a target, the jetski being the target luckily it was too far out for him to reach).

Makenna loves floating in the water with her lifejacket. This year they both swam really well which made things a little easier. Gunner realized the benefit of wearing the lifejacket while he swims to keep him up . They also love jumping off the back of the boat. Makenna also tried to stand up on wake surf board while Cory was holding it and she stayed up pretty well. So next year, a pair of little water skis hopefully.

So this trip I had issues with having my camera where I needed it when I needed it. If I was on the boat then it was on the shore, and if I was on the shore it was of course on the boat. So I missed some great pictures of the guys wake surfing and tubing, but I felt so bad because when I got home I realized that I had not taken a single picture of Gage. What a terrible mom! So here's Baby Gage:
