Fabulous trip to Lake Mead

!










It's nice having friends with connections!We were invited to go to Lake Mead(right outside of Henderson,NV) and stay on a houseboat over Fall Break week with 2 other families. We had 2 ski boats,2 jet skiis,tubes,and wakeboards(we just brought our fun selves!)It was a vacation we will always remember! And thanks Kate for watching our little Nick for the whole week!It made it way more enjoyable for ALL!The weather was amazing! Austin loved the fishing every morning. Elyse loved playing in the sand. Darin was thrilled he STILL has it after all these years-the pink 80's retro ski worked like a charm. He also did fabulous on the wakeboard-once he got up:showed his boys who's the boss! Mitch, Tanner, and Austin wakeboarded like pros! I gave it a try and got up the first time-no problem,until I was up and then I went down-hard!(Not as young as I think I am!) The teenagers played some rowdy games of Nertz at night, spent lots of time in the hot tub, and watched movies till they fell asleep. The adults were grateful for some relaxing time,good food(especially the lemon cake!) and conversation,watching our kids have so much fun and Tylenol PM.

Sounds like you have some great connections. Gosh, wish we still lived in Las Vegas. We would have had all sorts of visitors! Great pictures. Looks like your boys are awesome wakeboarders!

No not jealous at all. Not one bit. Well, okay maybe just a little bit. I am glad that you had such a fun time, really!
