Skiing

Last year we tried to get Malia to ski and even bribed her with a hula hoop if she would just try. Well she never would do it last year, and so the hula hoop stayed hung up with the ski in the garage. She talked about it off and on this whole past year. We went to the lake for the first time this year last week, and she dared try, and she did it! She got up on her 2nd try! She was pretty amazing!
(sorry for the screaming and the camera had a hard time focusing)

And then Gunner decided he needed to try, I was so amazed that he would dare! He almost did it, and probably would have if he would have dared try a 2nd time. I was just amazed he tried even once.
(warning again, loud screaming)

The water was so warm! It was the warmest I have ever felt it at about 84 degrees! I guess the week of 100 degree weather did some good. I am usually a wimp and have to wear my wetsuit, but not that time! It felt so much better to be in the water than out. I feel bad I didn't get any pictures of Ian, but I thought he would go out again, and he didn't. So I will have to get some more later if we go out again. He is getting good at getting air! But here are a few on the tube. Malia was not loving the tube like she usually does, but Gunner did!
Then Uncle Alec, Ian and Gunner got on and had fun!


Until this happened...

Gunner was not sure what to think when Alec and Ian flipped off! But he liked it!
