We had a great day out on the lake today‼️ Talk about your hot, beautiful day! (Consequently many of us are sunburned…did you know sunblock wears off in the water? Well I do, yet we didn’t reapply {is that even a word?? Reapply! It looks weird…} so our burns are our fault!).  I know for most of you who have lake-lots (regardless of the lake) it’s a pretty normal thing to go out on the boat and pull people around the lake, tubing or waterskiing, etc. Well, in my family it’s not! Until last summer, my middle daughter wouldn’t even go out in the boat!! Like she was petrified ‼️‼️ She talked about the titanic (I’m dead serious too) and other such examples and refused to go on at all two summers ago, when she was 12. Then last year, with friends,  we convinced her to get on a boat and head towards a different beach. I’m pretty sure that the only reason she finally did go on the boat that day was because we were with some of her friends and they all went on. So, she sat by me and held my hand. She was fine, she survived, obviously, but I can honestly tell you that she was petrified! So, today she initially rode on the boat, still sitting close to me. We decided that my hubby I would go out on he tube first. I was a little worried about the weight between the two of us, bu we survived. Then my oldest wanted a go (don’t know why my kids are scared…My oldest daughter has been in the boat before, but she is definitely NOT a water person., at all. Much more than even my middle daughter. She hasn’t liked it her whole life, especially deep deep water. She HATES it. So, after my hubby and I went on the tube, my oldest said she’d go if he (my dad, her grandad)only went straight and she convinced my middle daughter (the scared one, but at least a confident swimmer!!) as well as my mom to go with him!  Going pretty fast too!! They went for quite a while! Then mom wanted off and my 6 year old said he wanted to give it a try. So my dad pulled the three of them slowly. Once he got off, both of the girls said that going too slow made them nauseous…but they loved loved loved going fast! Crazy right!! I can’t even count how many times that I’ve told them how much fun tubing is and how much they would like it!! So, we spent a good chunk of the afternoon watching the girls on the tube!! I’m so thrilled that they both finally not only tried it, but they loved it! Yay! Yay! Yay! We had a great day, and an awesome time – regardless of the resulting sunburns – lol‼️❌😃❌‼️
