Learning to Ski on Lake Mead

In June we took a family houseboat trip to Lake Mead with my family. The girls had so much fun. They are the perfect age for playing in the sand and water for hours. They loved playing with all of the old drinking bottles. Emma and Meilynn had a "hanitizer" shop set up. That is the word they use for hand sanitizer. What a different world we live in. We didn't even have hand sanitizer growing up.Here is Emma on the E-Z ski. Our friend invents toys for behind boats and this was one of his newest inventions. I didn't think the girls would go for it but they both did it and loved it. It is really easy for them to do and gets them ready for skiing. A person in the boat holds the rope so that if they fell they would not drag.

So easy that she can even stand up when the boat is not going. Meilynn behind the boat. They are so small to be back there! I was 5 when I learned to ski. Sleeping on the boat after a long morning. Our set up on the beach. Aunt Debbie playing with the girls. A beautiful sunset and a beautiful end to a wonderful day. Daddy and Emma Daddy teaching Emma to drive. Daddy teaching Meilynn to drive the boat.

We always have a great time on the houseboat trip. My parents rent a houseboat and my sisters and their families stay on the boat. My cousins and Aunt stay in the motel and we stayed in our motor home. I always feel so close to God at the lake. The incredible scenery could only have been made by God.
