Lake Watauga with Tolans and Josephs

Saturday, we spent the day up on the boat at Lake Watauga with my family and my mom's sister and family - the Josephs. It was hot, but the water felt wonderful! We had a great time relaxing, visiting and introducing Christopher to swimming in lake water.

Sho Sho and Christopher.



















Great - Uncle AJ holds Christopher's life jacket so he doesn't take a swim by himself as he looks out across the lake.






















Silas trying to throw Mollie off the jet ski.
















Eventually he dove off and took her with him.
















Christine and Sophie Joseph and Anna Leigh.

















Christopher points out the jet ski to Great - Aunt Debbie.






















Daddy, Mommy and Christopher enjoying the warm water on a super hot day. Christopher thought it was great to splash it in our faces.

















































Daddy and Christopher sat on this raft while Mommy stayed cool in the water (plus my belly kept me from climbing onto the raft from the water!) Silas gave Christopher two tennis balls which he had a blast throwing as hard and far as he could into the water and letting everyone else in the water chase the balls and throw them back to him. I'm not sure he would ever have quit that game on his own.

















Christopher also had fun driving the boat with Babu.






















When it was time for bed for Christopher, everyone wasn't quite done playing on the lake, so Andy, Christopher and I loaded up on the jet ski and road it to the dock. That was a first for Christopher, who was quite unsure about it and very unhappy about leaving for the first half of the trip to the dock...then he calmed down and almost enjoyed the last part of the ride! =) Fun day.
