Glendale Lake

On Saturday, we went to Glendale Lake for the day and it was so much fun. Its always fun to take the kids on the boat. Clayton loved the boat, but didn't care for the life jacket. Those little jackets really squeeze their heads and bodies. He eventually got used to it and had a great time.
The water was a little cold when we first jumped in, but it ended up being perfect. Clayton and Cooper loved the swim breaks. Its so much fun to have my little ones out swimming with me. Bryce even joined us a couple of times and the kids had a blast. I love to see the smiles on my boys faces as they enjoy the water! Its one of my favorite things!
Shaylee and I started off going knee boarding. I tried to teach her how to do a 360, but she was a little nervous about it! After that, we had Addey and Cooper go on the knee boards. Added let go right away and Coop went for a little while but was scared. When he fell, he didn't let go of the rope (oops, forgot to tell him). He was a upset little boy when he got in the boat, but he wanted to go later that day!
Bryce, Sean, Kellye, and Brittney all surfed behind the boat. Surfing behind the boat is kind of tricky but its lots of fun. Bryce did a really good job...there were times when he had lots of slack in the rope. Brittney made it look really easy because she didn't need the rope at all!
Cooper and Clayton enjoyed going on the green "tube". In fact, Clayton wanted to go faster than Coop and Addey and everytime we hit a bump, he would smile really big. Cooper had a fun time driving the boat with Uncle Paul and hanging out in the front of the boat with his cousins. When we got back to the shore, he would go out and swim just off the shore. Out on the lakeshore, there was a bunch of guys that built this big 'blob'. A person would go lay in it very carefully and then a big guy would climb up this ladder and jump on the back of the "blob". It would send the person laying on it flying in the air. Sean, Kellye, Britt, and Bryce tried it. They thought it was fun, but they were sore the next day from the whip lash!
I enjoyed watching all the cousins interact with each other on the boat. Everyone wanted to hold Landry. He had a great time looking at the water and watching everyone play. He also loved playing with the ski ropes! I think everyone had a great time out on the lake and hopefully we can do it again sometime this summer!
After the lake, we headed home for a quick shower and then headed in to town to eat dinner at the Copper Mill. It was the Logan Cruise-In, but we got there late so we werent' able to see many of the old cars. Dinner was great though and so was the company. After dinner, we went back to Stephs house for a movie in the theater room! What a nice day!
