Summer on the Water

This week the girls and Sarah swam about 5 out of 7 days. It has certainly been a summer on the water. While we were together with the Astle clan we were fortunate to get out on Deer Creek Reservoir for some boating fun.

Caitin and Jamie had previously been scared of doing anything outside of the boat. BUT watching their cousins go tubing changed everything! Jamie is a brave little soul, and quite adventurous. She told me that she wanted to go. As we were gearing up for the next turn Caitin decided that she would also like to go...as long as we went slow! While we were out tubing, Caitin informed me that she was nice to go tubing so Jamie wouldn't be scared, and that's why she decided to go tubing. Anyway, here's the video:



Note that my surfing skills need a little work. Both Caitin and Jamie told me not to do it, and I still tried. Guess my listening skills could also use some work.

Well, at least there's hope for the surfing part:



Despite the overwhelming trembeling on Caitin's part, she was talking the whole ride about how much fun it was. She liked the warm froth against her legs, and she enjoyed holding onto that handle...so much that it took some real convincing to get her to let go!

Jamie was just chill the whole time. So fun to get them out behind the boat on a night that we all got in the water!
