So, the babies had a glad reunion last night when the caravan from West Virginia finally arrived here at SML. David and I left from chrch and arrived around 5. We had unpacked, already gone to the pool, and were pretty much ready for bed when the gang finally arrived around 8. I called them a “caravan” earlier because you should have see them when they pulled up. They were pulling stuff out of every inch inside and outside of the suburban.
Of course, Sarah hugged Colt about 25 times last night and another 59 today. She reminds me a lot of our Aunt B with her sweet little self and lots of hugs and smiles 
Both babies loved the boat. Sarah would laugh over every bumpy wave, and Colt just couldn’t get enough wind blowing in his hair! It was hilarious. We had lots of sunscreen and lots of replacing hats on their precious heads.
My hubby kicked things off on the knee board, then there was lots of tubing with swimming to cool off for the “watchers” in the boat. The boys have an ongoing talley of who falls off the most. You can tell by these pics who it was this time – – (David is on the left/ Heath is on the right)
The little boatsman. . . he’s learning to tie a “sailor’s knot” you know. . .
Sarah just laughed every time she got dipped in the lake. She is a waterbaby for sure!
This bird found a cozy place for his nest didn’t he? Right in the middle of the lake for the boaters and tubers pulling behind them to gawk at. I couldn’t believe the size of that nest! Isn’t it amazing how the Lord designed them with their instincts to be able to construct such a thing?! Those are some big sticks!!
This was pretty much a permanent fixture on the backseat of the boat. He was loving watching the waves behind the boat and the wind in his hair.
Me and my tubing buddy. . this was more up my alley than trying to “hold on for dear life” riding with the big boys. There is NO such thing as a smooth or slow/easy tube ride with my dad driving the boat though.
Gramps with his hands full –
Dipping by the dock. . . how we keep the babies cool until everyone makes in down to the boat during the day
Until tomorrow – – another day of fun in the sun. . .
Yeah!! I’ve been internet depraved…so I’m so happy to see pictures! Looks like you are having a wonderful time. We got bumped from our flight in Salt Lake City, so we had to spend the night. When we left the hotel this morning on the hotel shuttle, there was a lady on there from right around Smith Mountain Lake. Small world! Give your parents our love…and have fun. Love you all…we made it here around 2ish this afternoon. Caily and Lexi are just precious. Trying to figure out a way to pack them in the suitcase and carry them home.
Glad you’re having such a wonderful time!!!! (I wondered where the sun was.) The fog and rain have moved in here in Newfoundland today, but it still has a beauty about it on the harbour. Give those babies lots of hugs and kisses and sunscreen. Thanks for posting the pics. We love seeing the babies and big brother Jacob. Much love, Uncle Dale & Aunt B.
Ooops, I forgot to mention to Nana Gail…..get on those jet skis and show them how it’s down. From the sisters.
looks like sooo much fun!!!
I do hope Trudy meant deprived, though at times she IS somewhat depraved too! HA! Great shots and fun in the sun.
