This past Saturday, our dear friends asked us to their lake house for the day! It is on Cedar Creek Lake about an hour and a half southeast of us! We got to their house at around 10am, and the kids were eager to get out on the boat, so out we went to get on the life jackets and hop in the boat!
This was Cate's first time being on a boat. She had no hesitation. Of course, she is our little daredevil who has no fear!
Once we got out there, the wind in our face did keep us cool. It was harder to notice the 100+ degree heat...except when we stopped or slowed down! The kids sat in the front of the boat with my friend, Lesley and Matt and I sat in back as Barry drove!
We got to a great spot in a cove for them to jump in and hang out in the water. The water temp was 90 something degrees, but they said if felt great! I had not put on my swim suit, so Lesley (who is 8 1/2 months pregnant) and I hung out on the boat and took pictures.
After hanging out for bit, we decided to let them ride the tube in the back of the boat, each taking a turn with Matt! Max was up first. We were pretty sure he was going to love this as he is our thrill junkie. Another hint, was that he kept asking Barry to go faster and faster on the boat! Well, we were right, he loved it!
Then, it was Cate's turn...she did it, but squealed "Mommy, Mommy!" the whole time!
It was Brooke's first time, too. She seemed to love it as well!
We headed back to the house and got cooled off and ate some lunch! But, pretty soon after finishing, the kids wanted to head back out on the jet skis as Barry had promised! As they each loaded up, their Dachshund, Jimmy, was all too protective and barked and paced around the boathouse. Eventually, jumped in the water after them! It was too funny.
Max rode with Matt and Brooke with Barry. Matt told Cate he would be back for her, so she played out in the yard until it was her turn. Once again, Max couldn't get enough!
Once Matt returned with Max, we gathered up Cate and got a life jacket on her, and off she went!
However, about a minute and a half later, Matt returned with her. She didn't like it. We were shocked at her hesitation on both the tube and jetski. It might have been the life jacket as this was her first time wearing one...not sure!
Max went back out one more time with Matt and loved every minute of it. Matt said he would love to have seen his face as his squeals and giggles were an indicator that he was having the time of his life!
Once we left their house later that afternoon, Max said he wanted his Nonnie and Pop-Pop to get a tube and jet ski for their lake house. We are heading their during out NJ trip in about 2 weeks, so we'll see if he gets his wish!
All in all it was a fantastic day in a beautiful home and lake area! It actually made Matt and I wanting our own a little!

My aunt and uncle lived on Cedar Creek lake for years...I spent MANY summers on that lake. So fun!
That looks like so much fun!!
Makes me miss my days spent on the lake as a child. Only then I figured out that all those people were using the water as their own personal commodes and I couldn't bring myself to go in anymore. :(
Looks like you guys had a blast!
Love Kate's grin in the first photo - she is too cute. I'm glad you've been able to cool off in the TX heat...hopefully it won't be too hot when you're east-side.
