We headed to Long Lake on July 30th for an extra long weekend of fun with my parents and family friends, the Scott's. The weather was good for the most part, we had some rain and some wind. The kids were so excited to be out on the lake on Grandma and Grandpa's boat and had a blast tubing!! Grandpa pulled them around and around and around again!! They could stay out there for hours! They got pretty brave with the 'bumps' and twists and turns and gave me a near heart attack ;) This was Reese's 1st time on the tube but you wouldn't know it! Cal even jumped on for a few rides!! Blake tried water skiing and got up for a few seconds, one time! He was a champ and very brave!! The water was getting a bit rough and there was quite a few boats on the lake, which makes it hard to teach someone to water ski. My Dad and I also got a ski in, which was great!! Next time I will slalom! I wasn't sure how much time I'd spend helping Blake and didn't want to wear myself out - it's pretty crazy how in my teen's I could spend all day water skiing and not feel a muscle ... now I ski for a few minutes and my back and arm muscles are screaming!! Good sign that I should maybe get back into shape ;) Anyways, Blake wants to try skiing again this summer so hopefully we can get to the lake with my Mom and Dad before school starts. Emerson would also like to try water skiing! We also took the kids fishing, which they always enjoy. No bites this time but Em and Blake are getting good at casting! Reese's casts are a tad wild ... she almost hooked Grandma on one cast!! Besides spending time on the boat, we spent some time on the beach and Blake, Cal and Grandpa played catch! It was great long weekend and we're glad we chose Long Lake, it's an awesome campground!
