Lake Mead 2009

The kids had an endless amount of adventures this week in Lake Mead. Jet-skiing, tubing, (The Green Meanie - this thing FLYS! ok not really but it's so hard), knee boarding, boating, swimming in both of our own private coves, etc.... We stayed at a really cool place called Temple Bar. It's in the middle of NOWHERE! Has it's own motel, docks, restaurant, trailer park, gift shop, gas station, etc. People are on waiting lists for over 30 years to get a perm. trailer spot. People hand it down to family then the other owners in the part get a chance to bid on the spot. It would be really cool to have a spot there... Someday :) Our kids are on the list!

The fun part of fishing was casting & reeling. Michael doesn't quite have the patience of his Dad;

his Mom maybe, but definately not his Dad.

Virgin Margs.... or are they??

Both kids gave skiing a try. Michael could have gone all day (he thought), but we had to give him a break and give others a turn. He really got up once, but a technical mishap ended his ride (sea-doo operator error..) Kennedy almost got up, but those long legs just got in the way. It's a long way up from the sitting position to the standing position. Yep! There is always next year! They both loved it.

One of our coves.. this was completely under water a couple of years ago. It was beautiful. This picture doesn't do it justice. The water is so clear and a gorgeous green-blue.

We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends as the Rings. Another AWESOME vacation!!
