Lake Memories 2013: Day 4

Today started with a fun breakfast - and a pile on top of Aunt Heidi! 


Then, we took our new bikes for a test ride... with lots of people following along!  We rode for 7 miles - with a few water break stops.  Our new bikes work great!


Brooke rode behind Mommy the entire time - and they practiced shaking their tail feathers at everyone they passed :-)

When we got back, Aunt Angie took Brooke to one of her favorite places - the hammock.  They rocked a bit, and also showed off their matching toenails!



Neela decided to give kayaking another chance - with Mom in the boat with her.  They did some big circles in the area near the dock, with Neela learning by holding onto the paddle.


After posing in the tree for some twin sister pictures, Kylie headed into the lake in a kayak with Grandma.  Brooke jumped in with Grandma after a while, too.








Then, Kylie decided to do a little fishing...


While the Brooke napped, Mommy, Kylie, Neela, Talon and Grandma loaded up the boat to go tubing. Grandma tested out her driving on Mommy, then Neela tubed a bit before Kylie joined her.  The twins did not make it after the first "Go", and did NOT want to tube again!!  After we fell off, Mommy tried out her water skiing abilities.  It was the first time Mommy water skiied in over 7 years -- probably 10!!  Mommy got out of the water on the 3rd try, and water skiied around the lake a couple times before falling down by the dock.  

After Brooke woke up, she wanted to go again!  This time, Mommy, Daddy and Aunt Angie went with.  Brooke could not wait to tube... and climbed right out on the tube with Mommy.  Mommy "accidentally" fell off, so Brooke got to do a lot of tubing by herself!



Then, Mommy skiied again - and Angie went a few times, too.  Brooke thought it was amazing -- and enjoyed it even more when she got to drive the boat with Daddy after they dropped everyone else off!

To end the day, look at this amazing sunset...
