Making Memories on Memorial Day

From past experience of when we would go to the lake for Memorial Day, we learned that by Monday most campers are sleeping in, packing up, or are too drunk. So, we decided to head up to Apache Lake just for the day....just for Memorial Day. Boy, are we glad we did. We had "glass" even in the middle of the day. We love that lake. It's beautiful and it was a lot of fun to spend the day there with our friends.
We went in to the restaurant for lunch...just to enjoy some air conditioning:). Right by where we beached the boat, was a tree swing. Of course, the kids couldn't resist. Go Afton!

Wes enjoyed the shallow water and playing in the water.


The inflatable become a fun towing toy even on the beach.





Such sweet boys - sharing their snacks:).


The guys had fun "Wake- Skating"





Nelson did it like a pro. Eventually one should be able to let go of the rope and just ride the wake. WOW.







Awwww.....cute mother-daughter pose with Lani and Hannah.






Here's Sam showing his awesomeness....free of charge.









Sierra and Hannah getting ready to ride.









I tried to get Wes up on the ski skimmer, but he wouldn't stand up. Can you see the frantic expression on his face? I tried bribing....well, that was the only way that I even got him out there. So, he kind of tried....he just didn't get the concept (or didn't want to?) of standing up. Hopefully, we'll have him up and going by the end of summer.






Todd took Wes out on the jet ski for a bit, but again, our Weston is a little reserved about many things. I am not sure if he liked it or not. ...doesn't look too happy about it. He's content just to ride in the boat.




Sierra had some fun on the jet ski too.





We had a great day filled with many new memories. We can't wait to do it again.
