Every once in a while you tend to have one of those days that is just a great day from start to finish.
This last Saturday was one of those days.
Actually it started on Friday night when we went with some friends of ours – the Jacobs to their lake to camp Friday and play all day Saturday.
Our family is just made for the beach and since we do not have an ocean in Colorado, a lake is the next best thing. Actually, the lake has some benefits that you do not get with an ocean, one being the waves (expecially with little kiddos). Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t trade a day by the ocean with my family for much, but not having to worry about the kids getting too far out in the ocean is one less thing to worry about.
Anyways, we spent the day playing in the sand and on the dock, digging in the sand, eating, waterskiing, etc, etc. It was just a fun day all around.
It has been a couple years since I slalom skied, but I got up on one of the first times and it was great, but the best time of all was watching Spencer (4 years old) ski for the first time. He kept bugging me to go ski, but when he realized that he was going to be pulled fast behind the boat, he wasn’t so sure he wanted to go through with it. He did though and was great. He learned to kep his center of gravity pretty low. So low infact that he never even stood up, just crouched the whole time. It was pretty cool. Koby then wanted to give it a try but didn’t make it as far as Spencer but at least gave it a shot. We were proud of them. They also went on the tubes and really liked that part of the boat.
Thanks again to the Jacobs for a great time.
Here are a few pictures.
Spencer was ready to go early in the day.
This is the shot and moment of the day. Way to go Spence!

Feel’s good.
