More Reunions!

For the 4th of July, we were able to meet up with the Watts family at Lake Havasu for a reunion.  Everyone was there, and we had a great time enjoying the lake.  Dave's parents have a house overlooking the lake at Havasu Springs, and we love going there and hanging out.

The kids always have a great time on the tube.  Jessica, Ashley, and their cousin Lexi especially like to go fast.  We have yet to toss them out.  Maybe when they get a little older.......
Dave enjoyed boat surfing.  He loves to surf in the ocean, so I guess this would be the next best thing.  I gave it a try and it was fun.  It was strange getting up without my feet in boots, since you're feet aren't strapped into anything, but it was fun trying something new.
The kids all loved the knee board.  Tyler was so funny.  He'd get behind the boat, and let you pull him forever.  He never let go or wanted to stop, he'd just keep going and going.  Finally we'd just stop the boat and let someone else have a turn.  I don't know how his arms never got tired.  Oh, to have the energy of a 6 year old boy!!!!
Ashley got better on the knee board every day.  At first she had a hard time, but she stuck with it and by the end could ride for a while!!!
Jessica was excited because she finally mastered the 360!  Here she is just finishing it!  Way to go, Jess!!
We also had a great time on the Sea Doos.  This is Dave's sister Deanna, her husband Ryan, and brother-in-law Bill.  I thought this picture was fun with the 3 of them on it!!! 
Kyle loved swimming in the pool.  He is getting to be quite the swimmer.  He can now swim across our pool!  He just needs to work on coming up for a breath.  He can sure hold his breath for a long time!
And Kelsey's favorite was just hanging out in the little pool on the grass in the back patio.  There was a little sprinkler she loved playing with and it entertained her for hours.  

So, we didn't really escape the heat, but we found a way to stay cool over the 4th of July.  A big thank you to grandma and grandpa for sharing your place with us!  The kids can't wait to go back!!!  It was so fun seeing everyone!  Thanks for the memories!!
