Yesterday Ian's dad got the boat out and we headed to Hagg Lake for the first time this summer. It was beautiful! The water was really high and really warm for the lake. The water was almost 78 degress. That is way warmer than I remember it from last year. I didn't even use my wet suit which says a lot. It was a little bittersweet because I cannot wakeboard. Probably not for 4-5 more weeks. We will see... It was the same story with the kids. Malia wanted in almost immediately and was a little fish, and every time we stopped she wanted to jump in. 
Gunner was Gunner, and was "scared". After we got Malia on the tube and he saw her swimming, we finally got him to put his feet in off the end of the boat. He kicked for a little while making bubbles, then Ian just kind of pulled him in. He screamed of course, but after a few minutes he kind of calmed down. We even got him to ride on the tube too. But you can tell by the look on his face, he wasn't quite sure of it all, especially when he got splashed in the face. But once he was back in the boat he said it was fun. He will be used to it by the end of the year. 
Check out Ian! 
Poor Gunner, it was a long afternoon, and his nap time, and he didn't make it. 
Sorry I am not the best at videoing with one hand while on a boat, but you can get the gist.

What a BLAST! That's a bummer that you can't go for a few more weeks, but I'm sure there will be many more weeks on the lake. I love that Malia is so daring, she is so dang cute. She looks so much like you in your previous post. With her hair pulled up on top of her head. I love it!
Looks like you guys are having tons of summer fun! It's nice that your kids like the water so much- okay, maybe it's a mixed blessing when they always want to jump in! It'll be good later. ;)
What a FUN summer activity! I'm jealous!
