Boating on Lake Conroe

A few weeks ago I was chatting with my friend Leah and she mentioned that they were going to Lake Conroe to go boating and asked if we wanted to come. The words barely got out of my mouth when I was telling Shawn about it and it was a done deal! We rented a boat and a tube and had such a great time!! It was fun to go with the Daileys too!! It is beautiful up there. I can't believe we have lived here for 5 years and have never been up there! We already decided on the way home that we are going to do it at least once more before the summer is over! ---there are lots and lots of pics!

Tyson tried kneeboarding. Thanks to Michael and Leah and their patience in trying to teach him!

We did lots of swimming too...the kids loved jumping off of the boat into the water. It was a perfect day and the water was perfect for cooling off!

Shawn and Michael (I haven't really driven a boat before...it's not hard though...but I did have to be taught about being a driver AND a rider! I took these guys for a ride that was a little fast and bumpy!! I threw them both a few times! I didn't know...I apologized later! I felt really bad! Shawn said "Thank you for insuring that neither of us will have kids again!" {oops} Also I thought I was being so funny when Tyson said to me "Don't forget he is the bishop mom." and I said "Nope, not today!") Thanks for being good sports guys!

Shawn hitting a wave. This was right before he was dumped off!! Michael was driving the boat. (there aren't any pics of me and Shawn tubing together...Michael drove so we could have a turn too) Michael returned the favor and showed me what his ride was like!

Shawners...loved it!Michael kneeboarding

Tyson and Kyler with a thumbs up! These 2 little guys had THE best time!!!

Tyson...he loved going fast and hitting the waves going in circles

Kyler...at one point in the beginning he was resting his hand on his chin like he was bored so Shawn had to speed it up a bit and give him a reason to hold on with both hands! He was all smiles!!

What a great day!! The kids couldn't stop talking about. They all fell asleep on the way home, even Shawners! We are all a little sore today and have some red faces but it was all completely worth it!
