our last day at the lake

It's hard to believe that lake week 2010 is over.  The days go so very fast.  Of course leaving wasn't quite so painful since we get to meet baby cousin Jonah this afternoon! 

We played hard all day long every single day, and yesterday was no exception.  In the late afternoon we rented a pontoon and jet ski.  The last time I rode a jet ski was probably ten years ago, and let me tell you, jet skis have changed!  The one we rented was brand new and it was ginormous.  More like a small boat with motorcycle steering.  So fast, so powerful, so fun.  Matt loved every single second.   

With two adult passengers (a driver and a spotter) it could pull an adult on a tube - and fast.  But we also enjoyed some not so whip-lashing rides with the girls (executive decision by yours truly that Isaac was too young, even though every cell in him wanted to join his daddy on the new big toy).  


We enjoyed some deep water swimming in a calm cove.




And when the boat wasn't anchored, there was a line of kiddos waiting to 'drive' with Grandpa. 






When it started to get chilly we opened up the cooler for a picnic supper....




and a little more fishing. 




Oh, and it was Jan and Luther's 38th wedding anniversary, so they went on a little jet ski cruise to celebrate :) 




I told Matt that's pretty much exactly the way I hope to celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary.
