This weekend was so much fun and we played super hard. So hard that come Monday, I felt like I had worked all weekend long and took a recovery day. As a stay at home mom, that means I let my kids watch too much TV and basically did nothing. Whoops! My in-laws came in to spend the weekend with us and we had blast out on the water.
Both of my babies rode the tube for the first time! While they each enjoyed it, Bryson was super stoked and absolutely fearless. As his mama, I wish he had just a little bit of fear, but there is none. Justin rode the tube with him, then Bryson tried to ride alone, but he wasn’t heavy enough to keep the tube positioned right on take-off. My smart hubby came up with a better plan- he got on the tube with Bryson, rode for a little while, then told him to hold on. Justin bailed off and Bryson rode all by himself and he was beaming and giggling in pure delight.
You’ll also notice that I forgot to put sunscreen on. I lather my kids up, reapply often, and never once thought about myself. Even Justin thought to put sunscreen on! Not me though. The result? These fabulous raccoon eyes I’ll be sporting for Lord knows how long! It’s a good thing I can laugh at myself because otherwise I would avoid the public for a while. Instead, I’m sharing here for everyone to see! 🙂
So that was our weekend in a nutshell.
Great company, beautiful weather, warm water, a big yellow boat, & sunshine!
A-mazing photos!
Hahaha oohhhh I have had the raccoon tan MANY times! Thankfully it fades quickly 🙂 Looks like a fantastic weekend!
So jealous!! That looks so much fun!!!
Your boat pictures are great!
Now THAT looks fun! Can I come with you next time? 😉

Oh that looks like so much fun. Great action shots! Love the raccoon eyes, lol. I hope has evened out some.

I think you would have liked the beverages involved for everyone (but me!) too. 😉
I have not been boating like that in ages. What fun memories!
Looks like it was a wonderful weekend. Times like that are so precious…and so typical of a loving mom to put the kids first. 🙂
Oh, but the sunburn was worth it 😛 It looks likes you all had a great time. I’ve never done that before but it seems like a wonderful activity to do together!
Wow, what a great time! It is great that your kids enjoy the water, my 16 year old still won’t go tubing! She got submarined under the water on a tube at 6, and hasn’t gone back on one since.
we could be twins. i started peeling today I HATE when I peel anywhere but my face is the worst
That one with Bryson mid-air jumping off the boat – that will win awards. Enter that in every summer photo contest you can find because it’s an AWESOME shot!! You are such a talented photographer!
I have done that with sunscreen more times that I want to remember. You would think that I would have learned after the first time!
[…] busy. Bryson & I made homemade water color paints. We spent every weekend at the river, tubing, having fun out on the water, and even had a s’mores party. The first blood drive was held in memory of Kolby; the same […]
