Houseboat

Last week after open house we jumped in the car and headed to Dale Hollow. We got an awesome deal on a 6 bedroom houseboat on our favorite lake! Dale Hollow is just beautiful and the best water for any watersports-so smooth! Chris' dad offered to keep Ethan because he was a little (well a lot) nervous about Ethan walking around on a houseboat. In all honesty I was way worried and almost didn't agree to go because I knew my children would have to sleep in their life jackets for me to feel safe. ha! We decided to take Papa T up on his offer since Ethan would have a blast being spoiled by grandparents and knew it'd be a lot easier with just Braden. So at 9:00 at night, we loaded up and off we went! We've discovered the closest point of Dale Hollow is only a 2 hour and 40 minute drive so not too shabby. :) We had the absolute best time and can't wait to do it again!

Braden, Carson and Judd enjoying some breakfast at our super long table! Notice the life jackets over the jammies. They pretty much lived in them this weekend. :)

The kids were SOOOO good no matter what we were doing. The boys loved these little foam guns of course!



Amber and I showing our skills double kneeboarding-so fun!



Until we almost crashed! Love the faces. ha



Chris and Nick show off their skills...a little under the rope action



Me and my big boy



Judd and Braden trying out the new tube



The kids loved the houseboat. They went up and down the stairs 100 times and owned the place!



Cutie girls Alivia and Lydia



The hot tub on top of the houseboat was a group favorite



After the kids mastered the waterslide, they started sliding onto things set up by Nick. :)


*Thanks friends for one of the best weekends ever! It was SOOO much fun and we must do it again!
