WOW! Let me just say that "wow" is the word to describe our boys at Lake Anna over the 4th of July weekend. Both Nathan and Andrew have reached new levels of comfort with the water. Nathan started off the weekend running and jumping off the dock over and over again.
Then he discovered the fun of cannon balls.
Then he was up for something more daring, so he started jumping off the diving board on the neighbor's dock.
But even that was not enough for one weekend. After much whining and negotiating, Dan agreed to accompany Nathan up to the platform on the neighbor's dock. So here they are checking out the drop.......
And, here they go...........
Nathan also had fun being pulled in the tube and riding Big Mabel with Uncle Matt.
And the weekend would not be complete without about a half dozen or so rides on the jet ski.
So enough about Nathan's adventures. What about Andrew, you ask? Well, our timid little Andrew really started to come out of his shell this weekend as well. It started with the pony ride a few weeks ago. And this weekend, Andrew finally relaxed and enjoyed a ride on the big boat. He even explored riding in the bow.
Pop Pop took Andrew out for a ride in the Kayak. At first, he was not a big fan....
But in less than 2 minutes, he was loving it and waving to the camera!
He even went out for a long ride with Dan the next morning.
Later in the day, Andrew asked to go for a ride on the jet ski. At first we weren't sure if we understood him correctly, but it became pretty clear that was exactly what he was asking to do. So..... we figured, why not. So Dan took Andrew out for his first spin on the jet ski. He absolutely LOVED it and did not want to get off.
Look out Nathan - you now have competition for time on the jet ski!
