Boating on Lake Austin

Today Uncle Chris took the family out on Lake Austin

Tubing was a big hit with everyone even though they each chose their own risk level. Jordan likes it fast but not too fast, curvy but not too curvy. Katie really wanted to be in the danger zone, so we had to get her on with Jackson that is very use to that. Larson likes it slow and keeps yelling at Uncle Chris to go slower. I think he would actually just like sitting on the tube and not really be pulled by it!

Jumping in the cove!




Soaking up some sun and having fun.

Logans first day on the boat. His 4 pictures pretty much sum it up:
1) How can this possibly be fun? I feel like a snowman in this life vest and it is 100 degrees out here!
2)Babies can sleep anywhere: the motion and noise of the motor helps!
3)Completely content just laying with the wind through his hair.
4) GET ME OUT OF THIS LIFE VEST AND OFF OF THIS BOAT!
Larsons confidence has soared this week since braving swimming on his own in the deep end of the pool. Now he is jumping off of the boat by himself and swimming around in the lake.


Jackson serious.
Jackson not so serious.
Jackson being thrown overboard.
Jackson thinking about his nap that he soon took on the boat.


LETS GO SURFING!

Katie was really eager to try this out. She wanted to do it by herself and after a couple of tries, got Mr. Roberts to help. She didn't get all the way up but had fun trying.

Last season Jordan retired from wake boarding after a bad fall. So this is how we will get her back out their. Surfing does not require your feet to be attached to a board so she is much more comfortable with that. She was almost up. Next Time!

Tom has also retired from wakeboarding after ripping a muscle so he is going to perfect this surfing. He did great until he threw the rope on board and then......
WIPEOUT!!!!!!!
Everyone took a couple of those



Roberts boys having fun! Uncle Chris you better get in the gym, you are looking small. Just teasing! Thanks so much for taking us out and spending time with our family!
