Bear Lake Family Reunion - Day 3

Tuesday, July 28, 2015

On Tuesday we spent some more time at the lake. My parents rented a large pontoon boat for a couple of hours and we split into 2 groups and took a turn on the water. DH was the designated driver in our group - the only one who had driven a boat before. We went out towards the middle of the lake and then stopped the boat and those that wanted to get into the water jumped in. It is nice, clear water - very blue. It was also pretty cold. Everyone in my family got in except for Luke and MJ. MJ was freezing the whole time we were out on the water and Luke just felt sick being on the boat... DH was very nice and let all of the kids have a turn driving the boat if they wanted to. I think Luke was the only one who didn't want to. The younger girls thought that was a blast!

After our hour was up we went back to the beach to let the other group on. My sister was going to take her baby onto the boat but those that were going to be staying ashore convinced her to let us keep him. I don't think he would have enjoyed it at all - he was not too happy to be wearing a life vest and it was really windy riding in the boat on the lake.

My oldest brother's family brought an inflatable kayak with them and rented (I think?) a paddle board which they let some of our family use as well. The kids (and DH) enjoyed taking turns on them.
