Another fun jaunt to the Poconos, over and done. And it was crazy fun! Friday morning we headed out in the boat to do some tubing, and I think everyone who was interested got a turn...just before the boat died. **sigh** So, we putzed back to the dock and headed to the house for the evening. Dave and Rob had to putz the boat back across the lake to a spot where they could hitch the boat to the van, and tow it to the repair marina. As luck would have it, a big storm came out of nowhere during their trek, so that made it extra fun. Saturday we took the kids to swim in the lake and they had a blast just splashing and jumping off the dock. Great news after lunch -- boat fixed (and thankfully for the Finks, not an expensive repair)! We headed back out for more tubing in the evening, but since a lot of people were out on the lake, the water was super-choppy, making for bumpy riding. When Molly, Robbie, and Warren were riding, one bump was too much, and Warren went flying out, cartwheeling a few times and then skipping like a stone across Lake Henry. He quit screaming once he saw the boat was swinging back around for him, and Daddy had jumped out and was swimming toward him. I was shocked that he was as calm as he was (told him he showed up his sister who only fell in a grody river), and even more shocked when he informed Uncle Rob that he was a great driver for "bumping him out of the tube" and could he please do that again? You go, Warren!! Sunday morning, Dave did some wake boarding and I must add that he looks pretty darn cute out there trying to impress me :-) I let Rob and Steph talk me into getting on the water skis. After a number of attempts, I was waterlogged, sore, and embarrassed, but glad I tried and hoping my next showing will be an improvement (can't be much else). Molly water skied too, and did great for her first time. We also had a combined birthday party for all 8 kids, which is now a new family tradition for us. All in all, great time, more wonderful memories. We are so blessed with such great families! A few pics of the drama:
