Fun in the Sun!

This past weekend while Wayne was out desert racing the kids and I met up with the Shank's, Springer's, Hill's and Sorensen's for a day of fun in the sun. The girls were so excited to be going back to the "beach" that as soon as the woke up they put their swimsuits on. It seems like they asked every 30 min if it was time to go. We headed out around 11:00 and made it to Sand Hallow around 12:00. Once we found out where Camille had made "camp" for the day we tracked across the extremely hot sand. When we arrived the girls dropped the things they helped carry and ran for the water...Ty was not to far behind. So after we arrived Amanda and Mike came and provided us with some shade. Then Kelly and Andy came with some more shade. Not far behind the Springer's were the Sorensen's. Once everyone got settled in Brandon took all the guys out on the water. The kids played in the water and collected lake shells and a couple of them caught a few dead fish. Mike took Kaitlyn, Megan and Ty all on a ride on the wave runner. Kaitlyn the fearless loved it and Megan didn't like it at all, and Ty I think nearly fell asleep. Mike also hooked the three man tube to the wave runner and all the kids got a turn. Finally Brandon came back with the boat and it was the women's turn. Since the water was so choppy we decided to just go tubing. It was me, Kathrin, and Camille first. It was sooo fun! Brandon is an expert at whipping that tube. Our first time around nobody was thrown off. Amanda was the next to join Camille and myself on the tube of terror. We did pretty good, but all it took was one good whip and Camille was thrown off. After that it didn't take long for Brandon to get all three of us off. Camille's face met Amanda's shoulder the last time we were thrown off so Kelly came and joined Amanda and I. The first whip by the boat my darn long legs were tossed off the tube into the water. They were like dead wait. I couldn't pull them up to save my life. I was finally dragged in the water by my legs. Some where through out this the cap came off and the air in the tube came out. So that was the end of the girls turn on the boat. We went back to shore and everyone started to pack up. I stopped and got the kids some lunch and they all were fast asleep by the time we got home. We had an awesome time at Sand Hallow with some of our very best friends. Thanks to the Schank's for the invite and the use of their boat. And to the Hills for the use of their wave runners. YA'LL ROCK!
