We were excited to put our new paddleboards to use
and take the family to Rattlesnake Lake on Memorial Day. The holiday weekend weather was
glorious and we knew that we certainly wouldn’t be the only ones with the same
idea. We intended to only stay a
few hours, but our friends, the Olsen’s were there and the Howell’s, who lived
here a few years ago were in town visiting so it was one great big party.
Jason and Carly started out on one board and
Abigail and Drew on the other.
Drew sat perfectly still in the middle of the board while Abigail
paddled him around the lake.
Jason on the other hand shook the board Carly was
trying to steer and even jumped in the ice-cold lake.
We also brought with us some regular tubes for
people to float around on. Drew enjoyed lounging on the pink blowup raft we were given in Cabo.
One of the many perks of having older kids is that Justin and I
were able to go out together on the paddleboards without kiddos. We paddled out into the middle of the
lake and then laid down and chill-laxed for a while.
The Olsen’s had pizzas delivered mid-day so we were
fueled enough to stay most of the day enjoying the sunshine, beautiful scenery,
and fun with friends.
I just so happened to catch a fun video of Carly
and Livi coming to shore.
I shared this next picture on Instagram with the
following caption: “Happy to be on
the lake at not at the rim today #heatwave #lovewherewelive
#sodotheotherthousandpeoplehere”
Such
a beautiful day! We’re looking
forward to many more summer days just like it.
