Lake Pleasant

Boating at Lake Pleasant with
Dan and Jamie White

This week has been rough. We found out Clint's job is changing and will come with a pay decrease. All week we've been stressed trying to figure out how we were going to make it all work. So, it was a really nice break from worring to go out on Dan and Jamie's boat and not think about everything for a day.

The kids had an absolute blast. They loved every second of being on the boat. Pierce and Cole sat up front with Taylor and screamed and laughed as the wind and water hit them in the face. They swam and jumped off the back of the boat and had Clint throw them up in the air into the water.

Dan taught them both how to knee board and they were pretty proud of themselves. Cole thought she was pretty hot stuff out there. Pierce caught on quickly and was able to get on his knees and balance right away and rode a long way around the lake.

Cooper did great hanging out. He played and ate and slept. We decided to let him put his feet in the water but he was crying for more so we let him swim around and splash with all of us. He threw a big fit when he had to get out!

We ate lunch on the boat and fed the ducks who came right up to us and then went home sore and sunburned and took really long naps!

I think it's been at least 3 years since I've skied. It took a few tries to get the feel of it again. By the time I found my groove I was too tired to do anything more.

For Clint it's been 7 years since he's skied. I was really worried about his back but he did okay out there and had a good time.
