Family Perk

Not only do Dave and Jessi feed us all the time, they even invite us to go to the lake and go skiing with them. It is Dave's family boat, but I think Dave and Jessi use it more than everybody else. They are regular lake bums. The C* family, however, hasn't been in a boat on a lake for many years. In fact, I think the last time was with Jessi and Dave when Kyle and Jordan were about two. They obviously do not remember, so going to the lake last Monday night was like their first time. And it showed! We started driving out of the bay and Jordan got this look on his face and exclaimed, "Somebody save me from the wild catfish!"


Mike was the first one to enjoy the skiing. Pretty good for not skiing for a few years!


The best part about Mike skiing was seeing his sons faces as they watched him. Now that is priceless!

Dave grew up on the lake. He knows a thing or two about skiing!

Jessi did slolam (is that how you spell it, Jessi?) skiing also, but I won't post the pictures here. She is too harsh on herself and I don't want her to be mad at me.

After the adults went skiing, it was the kids turn to tube. Kyle hopped right in, but then wasn't so sure about the whole thing once the boat started. Mike was there to encourage him.

He did like it!



Jordan was the scaredest of all! We seriously had to prep talk him.

But since his brother did it, he had to do it too.




But it wasn't pretty!

Although he cried and screamed for half the ride, he later asked to go again, and again.



It was Summer's time to go. She asked Tanner, "Tanner, will you please go with me?" He replied, "Um, no. I can't."

Tanner's thrill was turning the boat on and off for Uncle Dave.
We boated and swam until it was dark and time to go back to the dock. It was a fabulous Family Home Evening Night! Thanks Jessi and Dave!


*No I did not ski. And no there are no pictures of me. Don't worry about it.
