Part 1 Kid Adventures.
The kids had a great time doing the many varied activities available to them! We started to get a bit suspicious when a few of them started a project 
and then one by one they all joined in 
AND then they kidnapped the dog AND then returned the dog and took Joe for an "speriment" 
Here is a tunnel that they built for the dog but Joe was better at following directions!
Even Claire Bear overcame her fear of the water and played happily in the shallow water.
The men of the family were fabulous! They worked so hard to make sure that everyone had a great time! Here is Mitch teaching the boys to skip rocks in the correct manner.
The men also took turns driving the boats and taking the kids for rides on the 4-wheelers.
Here they are waiting patiently for a ride.

Here they are waiting patiently for a ride.The kids loved 
riding on the boats, 
driving the boats, riding the tubes and riding the banana. 
Here they are waiting for the after lunch driver to take them. 
They begged Brandon not to dump them because the water was freezing. He dumped them several times. Good for him! 
Andrew was a good sport and took all the little ones on a ride. Brandon didn't dump them. although Emma tried to dump Buddy! 
Looks a bit crowded to me. Look at him trying to hold onto Lauren and Ethan at the same time. 
Baby Ben even enjoyed the beach and the boat not so much the tent!

Therefore there were many forced activities that the kids were a little chicken to try! 
Josh, 
Jacob, 
Kassidy, and 
Aaron
Josh, Jacob, Kassidy, and Aaron all successfully wakeboarded although some (my kids) spent more time thinking of ways to convince us they were done than actually trying to wakeboard!
The new kneeboarding crowd weren't so whiny! (Or maybe they were I wasn't in that boat!)They were all successful! 
Sam! 
Kimber!
Jonathan! 
Aaron! 
Conner! 
Josh! 
Jacob! 
Adam!
Sam! Kimber!Jonathan! Aaron! Conner! Josh! Jacob! Adam!Two big thumbs up to super mean uncles who despite all the crying and whining never were convinced the kids were done until they were all successful!

I think this is the most photos you've ever posted. It looks like so much fun. I love boating. It always brings the family together.
So fun and it looked beautiful. All those action shots! I liked how Josh was effortlessly touching the water with his hand. He's a natural.
And hey, are you boycotting by blog? I haven't heard from you in ages. I know you've been gone, and busy, but I was starting to worry...
Fantastic! Knee-boarding is so much fun. And Joe in that whole cracked me up.
