A Day on the Lake

The Ashbaugh's invited us to spend a day on the lake with them. We had a FABULOUS time! We had not been out with them since they only had Connor & we only had Abby. Whew...5 additional kids later & we are trying it again. Our family had a GREAT time!!

Abby has been desperately wanting to learn to ski. She goes mowing with Kurt & Connor & the house is on a lake. Kurt ski's while they mow. Ever since seeing Kurt ski, it's all she can talk about! (that girl is up for ANYTHING!) Thank God Kurt wasn't bungee jumping or something else horrible.

Abby got her moment to ski, which she did awesome! She was getting up but then having trouble figuring out what to do with the extra tension in the rope. But she kept trying, over & over again, she wasn't going to let it defeat her! It was her last try & up she went & skied all the way to the dock! It was quite a way. Yeah for Abby!! The little kids got to swim in the lake & ride on the tube, they thought that was awesome!!

Good times on the lake....Thanks Ashbaugh's!!
