We spent a week at the cabin for the 4th of July this year. We had so much fun. The kids caught some fish, did a ton of swimming, jumping off the dock and tubing. The neighbors even borrowed us their tube (and their kids) for an hour. It was so much fun we bought one of our own. The kids (including Madelyn tried out the new tube). They love it. The tables have turned....last year we were begging the kids to try tubing, this year they are begging us to go tubing. Literally 5 minutes after they have just spent 1/2 hour on the lake they are asking "grandpa when can we go tubing". Collin got flipped off last weekend and since then he is a little dare devil. He looks around the lake looking for the biggest waves and hopes that grandpa will speed them right over them. Ella begs and begs to go tubing but then spends the entire time looking terrified. But then she will keep asking to go again and at the end of the day she will always say that her favorite part of the day was tubing. Madelyn of course has no fear and goes with the flow. She laughs and squeals the whole time and throws a fit when it is time to be all done. Collin and Ella tried snorkeling. They both did pretty good - Ella was crazy, she was able to swim all over the place with that snorkel and never came up for a breath! We also had a new kayak. Collin really figured this out, and quickly was able to manuever all over the place. We saw a beautiful rainbow right on Lake Moses and of course went to the 4th of July parade. Collin and Ella love this and couldn't wait to collect all their candy. Madelyn was also very excited, because Collin and Ella were excited. But when we got to the parade and people started throwing candy "at her" she totally freaked out and spent the first half of the parade on mommy's lap - safe from these crazy people. Collin and Ella of course were fish in the water - but Madelyn surprised us - she was also a fish. By the end of the week she was swimming all over the place and even jumping off the dock all by herself.
The kids each took a turn fishing with grandpa in the morning. Collin caught 15 fish and Ella caught the biggest fish. Ella's BIG fish....
