Life on the Lake 2011!

I'm so happy Rileigh enjoys going to the lake and being on the boat as much as her Daddy and I! She loves the weekends cause that usually means boating time! She's such a pro, as soon as she get's on the boat she goes and get's her life jacket out and puts it on! So glad she doesn't mind wearing it (seeing how it's the law she has too)! She is definitely a child that's going to like dangers things I'm afraid, the faster the boat goes the happier she is! She always tell's Dennis "go faster daddy", the boat will be wide open and she's still asking to go faster!!!!

We put a swim platform on the back of the boat this year for Rileigh and her friends to jump off! At the end of the year last summer she discovered jumping off the back of the boat is a lot of fun! At first she acted a little scared (think she forgot how much fun she had last summer doing it) But as soon as she seen all her buddies doing it we can't keep her off now!!!! Rileigh enjoys having friends go with her! I love watching her play with her friends, all the smiles and laughs are priceless!

This summer Rileigh asked if she could tube behind the boat. I've got to admit I was scared at first and wasn't going to let her do it. I was afraid she was still too young to do that. Tracy (our friend) said he would pull her REALLY SLOW so I decided I would give it a try. I really thought she would be scared and would want off as soon as he started going......wrong, she LOVED it!!! After all the smiles and talk about how much she loved it she asked can we buy a pink one of these~!!! LOL My girl and her pink! Oh and I was on the tube with her, basically having a death grip on her so she wouldn't fall off!!! LOL Another thing she got to do this year is ride the jet ski! Again, no fear! She loved every min. of it!

Here are some pictures of her on the lake this summer! I wish I had more but I never took the camera out so these are just one's off my cell phone! (gotta love camera phones to capture all the first time moments!!)
