Norris Lake with Heather and Gary, July 17-19

 Gloria and Francine riding in the tube together.  It was so cute.

 Splashy McSplaherson

 Heather and Francine.  She had been afraid of the little boat until this very moment.  She loved it after that and wanted to ride again.

 Micah could only think about going fast on this little boat:)  He too loved it.

 M sweet girl getting so big.  She loved it all too.  Big boats, little boats, tubing, swimming in the lake and the pool, and even jumping off the bridge!

 My turn to ride with Elli.  I had gone with Gloria earlier.

 Having fun.

 These two are seriously fun and funny.  Once again, Micah was simply doing whatever Elli did or told him to do. SO fun to watch.  They were falling in sideways.

 Love this shot of Francine walking down holding Brent's hand.

 Mr. Cool dude:)

 The kid has to go all the time.  Thankfully it was easy off the side of the boat.  Can you say, "Wedding slide show"

 Elli and Brent swimming to the bridge and then jumping off.  I have video of them jumping.  So proud of Elli for overcoming her fear and just doing it.

 Now it is my turn to ride with Micah.  He was so sweet holding my hand, laughing with me, and enjoying it.

 He heard me tell Elli there would probably be a big ice cream cone if she managed to jump off the bridge  After a bit on the tube, Micah looked at me and said, "I can get ice cream now too?"  hehehe

 Another turn with Elli.

 The promised deliciousness!

 Yummy

 Delicious

 Adorable

 Sweet.

 I like this picture of the kids waiting to get back on the boat.

 Elli did fairly well driving.  She is still figuring out that you can simply hold the wheel steady:)

 Just chilling on our longer boat ride Sunday morning.

 The bow crew.

More lake swimming.  Honestly, we had the best time.  We did everything we wanted to do while there this weekend.  The kids played well together, we all did lots of water sports, and Heather and I even had time to exercise together and talk:)  Cherished times with family.
