Final Summer Hoorah

Even though this weekend is technically the end of summer, we concluded it a little early last weekend by spending it at the lake with our friends the Wagers and the Pedens.

From the time they could drag us out of bed to slather them in sunscreen til the last rays of the sun had disappeared and we then dragged them in to eat the kids lived in the water.

They slid

and swam


and tubed
Riley and Chase, the lake experts, showing everyone how it is done.

Greyson commandeered the jet ski for most of the weekend...

The definition of windblown hair.

They were even brave enough to try water skiing. Greyson actually got up the very first time and Quinn was so close to being able to do it. I am so proud of them for trying and doing so well the first time ever.


But I think the highlight for them was surfing with Daddy. I don't know how he did it, but Raif managed to not only get himself up on the surfboard but Greyson and Quinn as well. Oh, did they have fun surfing behind the boat with Daddy and I think Raif had fun with them too.



To say the kids were exhausted Sunday night would be an understatement but the cranky children Monday morning were well worth the weekend adventures. As always thanks to both sets of Wagers for hosting us! See you next year!
