Over a year ago, Jen and Jason gave us their boat to use. Well, it's just been sitting, waiting for the necessary maintenance and check-ups for far too long. So, Brad's spent a few weekends getting it all prepped for us to take it out. Memorial Day was its maiden (CA) voyage and it did GREAT!
We took it out on Lake Elsinore and had a wonderful day. Libby loved helping Daddy drive.
Lexi and I enjoyed the back seat.
We left our house at 8:30 and were on the lake by 10:00. We were worried it would be chilly, but it turned out to be another beautiful day.
My parents joined us for the maiden voyage, and we even convinced my mom to try water-skiing again! What a champ!
Lexi getting her "sea-legs"
She got these new glasses for her birthday. Super cute, but didn't last long.
I got to wakeboard for a bit and despite being VERY rusty, it was great! Unfortunately, no pictures of Brad because one of the bolts fell off the wakeboard before we got any pics of him. Oh, well...just means we need to go back again!
We stopped for lunch at the spot where we keep the boat and trailer. Lexi fell in love with cheese puffs, as you can see!
Libby discovered cotton candy! :)
Lexi enjoyed "maxin' and relaxin'" while we dined.
We shored up on a beach for awhile and the girls had a blast playing in the water. They especially loved the "hot-tub" Brad dug for them.
So fun!
The family
We love our Lexi!
And Libby was even moderately brave in the water with her lifevest on. We're making progress.
She got to finish off the day with a popsicle from the ice cream man that came by with his cart. What a fun day of water, sun, boating, and treats!
Can't wait to take good ol' Bessie out again!
It's YOUR boat, silly!!! Can't wait to go out on it with you this summer!!
