At the Lake

Our kids have some very special people in their life.

Two of those people are known to my kids as
"Uncle Marvin and Auntie Joan".

I have known Marvin since I was about 5 years old, and I remember when I was about 14, he brought a pretty girlfriend home from CUC,
she had such a big smile!

As time went by, Joan and I have grown into
"sisters by choice"

By the time my kids had attended play school type music lessons for several years, I decided that they would do just as well by taking lessons from their own "Auntie Joan" So for many years, she patiently tried to turn them into musicians!


Uncle Marvin and Auntie Joan have moved to California, and are teaching in a mission school right on the Mexican boarder.
BUT... each summer they come home for about a month.
When they get here, they spend much time boating and water skiing
on our beautiful lake.

As the saying goes, it's not what you know, but...
who you know!!!


So we are often privileged to join the Pinders for an afternoon at the lake!

Here are some pictures of our 2007 water outing.


Mai and Jere rented a wake board for the afternoon.



Jere was the first one to brave the "cold" water,



He got up, and had a nice long run
before we managed to make him take a "face plant"!



Then "little miss Mai" gave it a good try.



She got up...



and went down...



got up again...
She had a good time...



but the water was cold!!




Then it was Uncle Marvin's turn,
he isn't a wake boarder, but he did drop a ski, and did some slalom stuff!

We all had a good time!! Just look at all that beautiful water, how could we not have a great time.


Oh by the way, I never did get up, mostly because I wasn't about to get into that cold water, and make a fool of myself, watching was enough!!
