Lake Washington ~ Day 2 ~ Tubing!

As promised, here are some shots of our second day on the Mendenhall boat! We actually braved the Memorial Day crowds and made our way to the middle of the lake Monday morning. It actually wasn't too bad. No lines waiting to get in the water. Parking was a little tricky, but not nearly as bad as anticipated. And once you're out on the Puget Sound it doesn't matter. The kids had a blast and we mostly spent our time pulling them in this awesome tube that Maria's friends let them borrow for the day. It's a three seater and it's a lot harder to fall off of so it was perfect for the day. Here are just a few of my favorite shots...





Audrey showing Ethan that she doesn't even need to hold on.

One thing is for sure!... The puget sound is definatley a lot bumpier than the river we have tubed on in Boise!


Audrey was our little daredevil this trip. She wanted to go "really fast and fly high", so Eric sped up and whipped them around! This time, Audrey definately needed to hold on.

That water is COLD!



Dad pointing out all the big sail boats to David. Awww... so cute.

What a fun time! We sure are excited that Eric finally convinced Maria to let him buy a boat! Check out our post below to see some fun shots from when they took us on a ride around Lake Union last Friday.

Okay, those pictures are priceless. First, Ethan's hair looks great - the cut is cute. Secondly, his facial expression in the first photo is hilarious. I love all the pictures, it looks like you all had a fantastic time.

What great shots! I love how in the first image the big guy looks like he's screaming in terror while the little guy on the right is more concerned about the sun in his eyes. Too cute!
