Lake House

Saturday, September 1st we went with our good friends down to Canandaigua Lake for a day of boating, eating, and fun. Our friends have a lake house there and have invited us the past few years. The kids LOVE LOVE going. When we got there we went out on the boat for a ride and the kids went on the tubes. TCG was a little worried about getting sea sick and was funny to watch. By the end of the day he was fine and was out on the boat during all but one trip. The little girls got on the tubes as we were coming in, but AMG didn't like going "fast" which we weren't at all. In fact look at one of the pictures and the boys look bored because we were going to slow for them. Every time ARG was on the boat she would say "go faster" it was very cute. She loved it. We had lunch and then the kids went out on the banana. When they were done the adults went out and left the older kids to babysit the younger ones. I am very proud to say that I FINALLY got up on skis. (I will attach pictures later for proof) I was so excited that I had finally gotten up that I fell. I did get up a few more times, but not for long. The kids then went out with the skis and knee board. I stayed to help get dinner ready. TCG did say he got up on the knee board and was happy about that. We had dinner and then relaxed for a while. That night was the "ring of fire" all the houses on the lake put flares around their property and lit them at 9:00pm so there was a red ring around the lake. It was so cool to watch them all light up. We went out on the boat to see it all better and to also see the fireworks. We didn't get home until about 10:30. It was a great day.

How fun! Your kids are so cute! When we went on our road trip from Utah to Halifax, Canandaigua was one of the places we stopped to eat at. We really liked it there, I think we were fascinated by it's name, we all kept trying to figure out how to say it. We ate at a Denny's (really late at night) and had to ask our server how to say it! I will never forget it now! Looks like you guys had fun!
