tubing

On hot summer afternoons, we love to go out on the water for some cool down time! On this day we went to Minidoka Dam with some friends. Braquel and Keven came out for awhile and went, too. Sometimes it takes awhile for Braquel to get convinced that she wants to get on the tube!

Someone pretty much has to hold on to Ellie when we're out on the boat because she likes to stand up and lean over the edge. Braquel was taking her turn with her baby sister!

This is our friend, Tad. The week before, our tube ripped while Tad was on it and we had to order a new one online since we couldn't find one locally. We let Tad have the first try on the new tube! It really gets air if only one person is on it to hold it down!

What a little face! Gary says that when she is graduating, this is the picture we're putting on the slide show! She's such a little ham.

There was a small inlet where the kids played while we waited for everyone to show up. There are lots of little rocks and Treven and Ellie had a ball playing there. Treven loved messing around on the tube and doing tricks with it.

Treven tried to tell us he found diamonds in the water when really he found little clear rocks. Ellie went along with him and started digging for her "diamonds!" It's always fun to relax and spend time with the kids out on the water.
