July 4th week Part 1

For those who do not know about this week, We have three Grand kids and their Dad Mike staying with us for a week and we do not leave the property [except to get more supplies] and everyone drops in at any time from early morning until late at night, It is like hosting an open house that lasts 24/7 for a week ..It is crazy , fun and exhausting all at the same time.

The house where it all starts.. It was soon know as the place to be or Party Central.

I will start with the water activities ....

Seems like everyone showed up even the Swans came for snacks..



Some of the water activities during the week ,, Here Kristi tried to see how far she could run across the water. Kind of like trying to fly.





Looking for a slower pace Mike tried the paddle boat.






Denise proving she still "can " and throwing out the challenge to her sisters.







Kristy and Kelly leaving shore for a ride with Grandma on the pontoon but got bored very soon. Too slow and not enough action for them.




See I told you they were bored.









Dennis did his first wake boarding and thought it was easy. He wanted to master all the tricks and never gave up . He learned a 180 and back with no one to coach him.

I just like this picture of Kevin swimming , I thought it looked like sharks were circling around him.

Many many hours were spent on the tubes bouncing and hanging on and trying all the Dare Devil things without falling off, well most of the time they stayed on despite our best efforts to shake them....................


Even showing off a bit, look no hands..






OK, this one was quite tricky..








Sometimes you have to be the "spotter".




Our Noodle-heads
We even had LIVE Entertainment on the first two nights. Our great Entertainer Gary , straight from Green Bay Wis. He brought his "roadie" with him, niece Katy.



Of course we have the three Amigos..The adult version.






Three Cousins form the all girls club.



Mike always "volunteers" to do the man grill thing.. It equals good eats.Even on vacation you must remember to brush.
