Time With Friends

A couple weekends back we had the chance to spend the day with the Helmicks, some good friends of ours.  We left Little Rock fairly early on Saturday morning but not before a stop off at Starbucks (for liquid energy) and the gas station for ice to put over the food and other drinks.  We made it to Ouachita with our posse of kiddos and enjoyed a beautiful day on the lake.

The girls were the first one out of the shoot, and I think they had a really great time.

Even Keri got to ride with her littles, but it was a some what short ride.

All our kids got up on at least on one if not two of the wakeboard, knee board or skies, we were all so proud!!  It was actually Emerson and Ava Jane's first time to do the knee board.  I think peer pressure was a good thing in this scenario!  Thanks to Steven who stayed in the water with all the kids as they got set, his encouragement was helpful no doubt.

 

Even Keri and Steven got up, and I must say, Steven got after it!

These girls make me smile so much.  How cute are they?  Ava Jane enjoyed  having girls on the boat.

The kids had a great time jumping in the water, playing with water guns and soaking in the last rays of summer.

Helmick's, thanks so much for coming with us!  We enjoyed the time together.
