big girl pants, boat, camping, camping day 6, family, fun, kneeboarding, sun, tubing, wakeboarding, water

what a lovely day… heard a couple of loons as we were having our breakfast and packing our lunch…

sun shone and we spent the whole day on the water…

started with a number of rides on the big tube…

the two little guys practically fly when their daddy tries to dump them off, and there are huge grins on all their faces throughout the process…

the oldest grandson and I had a blast, when I wasn’t screaming, lol… 

picnic on board and we toured around half the lake, admiring the cottages… then we swam off the boat… 

after that, there was wakeboarding action… my daughter, son-in-law, and middle grandson are all naturals… my oldest was very close to getting up but the water was getting a bit choppy…

then it was my turn… they had to lower me into the water once the boots were on my feet…

my daughter got right in with me and helped me get positioned…

tried and tried but couldn’t get up… laughed the whole time though… they moved on to kneeboarding and the three oldest boys in the group had a great time, lol… and were very good at it… 

 travelled home after a fun time…

got the boat docked and headed back to the campsite…

my daughter and I went on little tubes (from our visit to Courtenay, many years ago) at the water by our site… bit breezy so we ended up with rock burns, lol…

made and had supper, which was cooked over the fire once again… and a couple of us are trying to save the fire, while the others went out for supplies, but it isn’t looking good, lol…

hoping you had a special day too…
