Boating

The kids had a half-day so we took the opportunity to hit the lake (last time?) before it gets too cold. The water was much chillier than last time we were there, but it was bearable. Brian needed a wet suit, but the rest of us were tough. ;)

Paxton & I have matching forehead zits...

Carsten (and I) rode on the tube for the first time. He wasn't as much of a fan of the tube as the other kids (he kept his face buried and white-knuckled it most of the ride) but he was a trooper and didn't cry or anything.

And I got up on the knee board for the first time! (I actually got "up" once before, but then wasn't able to get the handle to release from the board, so this was my first time of doing it right, and let me tell you that was a serious upper body workout!!!)
