Big Lake, Boats and Biplanes

We went to Big Lake to go out on the boat...  after a couple hours we did make it out, but in the meantime we played.

A guy Rob knows from the Guard happened to be out there with his family.... they had a jet ski and tube.   So they offered the kids a ride while we waited....   

Georgea is "driving" in this one.
 Rosalee and Elic went on the tube  (notice Elic's cute hairdo-- windblown)
It was kind of cool to see a biplane fly overhead!
This is when we finally made it out on the boat... it was having some mechanical problems, but Rob got them figured out and we went out for a short ride.   
While we waited for the boat, the kids played on the "beach."  Elic found another use for his rain boots.
Georgea told me, "look at sweetpea, she's tanning."  I laughed because I knew what it really was.... napping...   Notice how great of a tan it would have been...  maybe a little on her legs!!!

I guess I'll clarify the great outfit too...  she hadn't planned on going out with us, so the wonderful matching pants, shirt, and socks are compliments of me.   She had mentioned about not running into anyone when we went to the store to buy new life jackets.... but guess what, sure enough she ran into someone she hadn't seen in a while!!

We had swimmers while we were on the beach.  Chance even swam a little.
We had Georgea buried alive, or more kindly called a living sand castle?

Elic "driving" the boat, of course Rob is blocking the fact the motor was being worked on!!!
