Boating with the Holmgrens

Friday evening Mindi and Corey arrived and we had a great dinner and visited while the kids played. Saturday morning we got up and down to the lake about 10am. We weren't sure what the lake would be like since it was a Saturday. It ended up being so great. The water was decent and it was great temp to be on the lake

Mindi and Corey both tried knee boarding

Then Nathan and Hallie gave it a try...they did great

Then Matt and Corey both tried wakeboarding

Then Nathan taught Hallie how to do a Karate Kid pose

Then the boys tubed and it was the most entertaining thing we'd seen all day.

After the water got choppy we came in to the beach for snacks and to play in the sand

We played for about an hour before the wind really picked up and lets be honest we were all pretty starving for real food since we had only packed snacks. So we got everything packed up and off we went

As we pulled the boat out of the water that afternoon the strap on the trailer broke. It freaked me out but Matt was able to secure it to the trailer and we got home safely and a new strap ordered.

Later that afternoon Nic & Kyle dropped off the kids so they could go to Nic's high school reunion. They had a great time and so did we. The kids had a fun time playing and we snuggled Griff. While eating dinner Rigs found blood on his corn on the cob and we quickly realized that he had lost a tooth. After looking for it for over 10 minutes we decided he must have swallowed it

I had a hard time sharing the snuggles from this little guy and once I gave him to Matt he wouldn't give him back

We had a great dinner and hung out until dark and then Mindi and Corey had to head for home since they were speaking in church the following day. Its funny how some friends you can go a long time and never see or talk to but when you get together its like you were never apart. Cherish those friendships they are far and few between
