Lake Mead

So, we were brave this year and decided to take our 20 month old on a houseboat trip. Insane - I don't think so, but Jer did. We had a great time at Lake Mead with my family and little Michael loved it. He was fascinated by the boat and wanted to either drive it or look off the side into the water. The water was freezing, but we all skied, wake boarded, and swam and this is the first trip that no one got sunburned. Amazing! Usually a couple of us go home as lobsters and spend the next week soaking ourselves in aloe vera. Use sunscreen, it's your friend.

Time for some fun in the sun! Let the boating begin!

Okay, I thought this picture was too cute. Little Tanner didn't find the freezing water as appealing as his cousin Michael did and he was letting us know it.

I love houseboat vacations. All you do is eat, swim, and sleep.

Michael had a great time playing in the water and floating around in his car.

You think we have enough floaties on him? He actually is starting to swim fairly well on his own, with all of his floaties of course. He loves the water, just like his mommy.

Tanner doesn't look too happy about his lifevest swimsuit. Can you blame him? Sorry Sheryl, I only have crying pictures of TanMan. :)
