The Boat
Growing up at camp, summers were BUSY to say the least. Family time was hard to come by, but something that I cherished in my childhood was our time spent on the boat on those days Dad could sneak away from the office. Like I have said before, I am not big on being IN the water, but love being ON the water. Boat rides are so relaxing to me. The hum of the motor, the cool breeze that hugs tight as the hot sun beats down on you, the beauty of the water surrounding you. It's wonderful in so many ways, and holds so many memories in my mind.

It's been a few years since we have been able to enjoy it, with almost the whole family (we missed Shell's fam!), but on Labor Day we took full advantage of the beautiful, hot sunny day and embraced the water's of Lake Geneva!! My heart was so happy to see my parent's enjoying this special day surrounded by most of their kids and grandkids. Dad jumped on the tube like a teenage boy enjoying a hot, summer's day, reliving many memories of his youth. It was so fun to watch! We took most of the little ones on the tube, and I won't lie it terrified me more than I enjoyed it!! Being on a tube with an almost three year old is nerve wracking, and puts a lot of pressure on an enjoyable event, but the Lord watched over us, and all had a great time. Dear Paul nearly had a heart attack, bless his heart! He is programmed to worry, and did so yesterday enough for all of us! Love that man :) I'm pretty certain he will not be allowing sweet Zaylee Jean to be riding any tubes until much later in life. Ha.
After the kids had their fun, Dad, Erin, Craig and I had our own fun.
We laughed so hard as we were tossed around on the giant tube, weaving in and out of the wake, taking a few hard waves with blunt force. It was so much FUN!

Lake Geneva has so many bits of my heart, and I hope the memories just keep coming as our family of three grows!
