Norris Lake Trip

 This Memorial Weekend we rented a lake house on Norris Lake.  We left super early Thursday morning and just got home late last night.  We had an absolute blast!  There were 4 families that stayed the whole trip and two other families that came part of the time so needless to say there were a lot of kiddos everywhere! :)  The kids were sooooo good though I must say. We ran them hard from morning until they dropped at night.  Between boating, swimming, and running around playing with friends, they were busy busy the whole trip. The house was awesome!!! Plenty of room for all and so much fun.  Jenn has a lot of fun pics on her camera but here are some that I have. Thanks to everyone that came and made it such a blast! Let's go again...soon! :)

This is standing on one of the decks looking out at our dock. We had a double decker dock to tie up the boats with a huge laying out deck and slide-SO fun!!

The kids LOVED the hottub! They were always in it...especially Ethan. He kept saying, "I go swim in the big tub." ha!

A big hit with all the kids was this trainer ski. It was perfect for them! They all could do it and felt like they were big stuff out there skiing like mom and dad. :) Here's Alivia :) 

Here's Jackson...no hands too!

 Go Lydia!

 Ethan wasn't into trying the ski, but loved hanging out with his "sriends"(friends) all week and driving the boat.

 It was hot, hot, hot all weekend-lots of cooling off was needed.

 More hot tub action

These kids were not afraid of anything!!! Here's Braden going off the slide off our dock. It was pretty high off the water.  They also jumped off the top deck a hundred times. That jump took me a few days to even do. ha! Gotta love when the 5 year olds are braver than the mommies. :) 

 Here's our top deck where we could lay out, eat, play music etc...it was so fun!

Picture of the back of the house from our deck-so nice! By the way, those stairs did a number on my calves...and hopefully booty! ha!  It was a workout. :) 

 CHEESE!

 Here goes Braden! He was showing us how he could ski with one hand. :)

 Oh yay! Work it buddy!

 Just cute!

 There goes Addi!

 A couple of cute fellas :)

 Go Carson!

 Boaters just hangin'

And finally...Go Judd!

Of course the adults got in on a lot of watersport action but I don't have any of those pics. There was skiing, tubing, wake boarding and of course some of the guys had to hurt themselves at barefoot skiing. :)  Such an awesome trip!!!!
