Father's Day

On Father’s Day we were invited down the Brad and Anita’s lake for the day. It turned out to be a beautiful day for the lake. Brec and Isabel were in town so it was a fun filled family day. We (me, Lane and MaKena – Jacob was with his dad for the weekend) got to the lake around noon and hopped on the Lonnie and Ardis’s pontoon for a ride around the lake. MaKena sat with Papa to help him drive the boat. After a few minutes with Papa she knew what lever to push to make the boat go faster and kept trying to make the boat go faster. After the pontoon ride the kids got their suits on and hit the water. MaKena was having a blast. She jumped in the water to Uncle Brad and swam around. She was fascinated with trying to catch fish (aka minnows). She would make Brad carry her around in the water while she had the fish net in hand trying to catch fish. Later in the afternoon Brad took the kids tubing. I have to admit I was a little worried MaKena wouldn’t like it. Boy was I wrong, she loved it. No fear! Before we knew it, it was time to pack up and head home. It was a fun day!
