Boating on Lake Washington

After our Reunion (which I neglected to say was in McCall, ID) we went with my family up to the great pacific northwest. We stayed there for about a week and a half, and had a blast. Unfortunately it was only hot and sunny the first 2 days we were there, so we didn't get to be on the boat as much as we wanted to. However we were able to have a blast those first 2 days and also got out for a couple hours before dark on the 3rd. So here are a bunch of pictures from our adventures on the boat.

David loved helping drive the boat.
This was Sydney's first boating experience and she warmed up to it quite fast. Here, we are with her on the swim platform while the boat is stopped in the middle of the lake.

David floating with his Grandpa! He was a little unsure about it.
Getting the hang of it again after not doing it for a year and a half.Throwing in the roap! Afterwards!
Scott surfing. He's actually more of a wake boarder because he likes the speed and switching wakes, and attempting jumps. =)

Sydney chillin with Julia.
J, Clarissa, Mom, Rosalee, and David chillin on one side of the boat to help make a bigger wake. My parents also have a balast(sp?) that makes the wake a lot bigger.
The next day we went to Ivar's on the water and had great fish and chips! I actually had salmon and chips, which I had the last time we went there, and it is amazing.

Getting back on the boat after we finished eating. Just to the left you can actually see Seattle across the lake.

More boat play after Ivar's. David LOVED the boat as you can see.
David and aunt Rosalee.
Grandma showing David her cool hat.

J chillin in the front.

David was in love with Grandpa's sun glasses.
The next day I surfed behind the boat with no rope for about 5 minutes! It was so fun!

Scott manning the flag.
Sydney with Grandma.
Sydney started making this face as right before I took each picture, because she could see the little red light go on meaning it was about to flash. It was so funny once she figured out that she was preparing for the flash.

I love all of these pictures! It looks like you guys had a lot of fun and did a lot of the stuff we did while we were there, next time we'll have to time it so we're there at the same time! And be glad you got 2 days of hot sunny weather (that's what we got too), in WA it can always be much worse. :)

Your family looks super cute and fun! Our families would definitely get a long. We love boating too. I miss spending summers on the lake. You look so good for being prego. You can't even tell from the pics.

O.k., we just moved three blocks from Lake Washington! We just walked there today, and this last week we also ate at Ivar's! Small world. Wish you guys were still here so that you could drop by and say hi!
