Back to Yuba with the Whole Fam



After owning our boat for nearly a year, it was about time I took my sisters and their families out for a day on the water.  Since we had such a great time at Yuba earlier this summer, that's where we went.  Dad was playing in the Mulligan and was really missed.  He would've gotten a kick out of mom, Sarah, Kate, and I on the tube.


We laughed until we cried, and peed!  It was such a fun time.
I'll tell you what, that tube got quite the workout!  The kids never wanted to get off.







Isabel is a little dare devil!



Even Sam got on the tube with me.  He squealed with delight and kept saying "so fun!".
He also kept us quite entertained dancing on the boat.



All the kids got the genius idea to hang off the back of the tube making it look like Jack was riding solo!

The scene on the boat during all this tubing was total PARTAY!!






Our studly captain drove the boat for hours, navigating the rough waters like a pro and keeping us safe.

The kids all had a turn snoozing as well.



Sam tried to get comfy on "bampa" but later found a more ideal location for his nap.



He literally crawled up on the bench and laid face down and went right to sleep.  He is such a good little boating baby.  You can tell it wasn't his first experience on a boat!


Max found a comfy spot of his own for a quick power nap.

After a quick rest, the kids all wanted to go back out on the lake.  I stayed back with Sam, mom, and Kate.


Sam and "Bampa", I love that he calls her that by the way.

Sarah took pictures of the boating while I was at the beach.
The kids finally tried the water ski trainer and loved it!



So proud of my sweet little Maxi.


Hank got up no problem.


One Hand!!


I had to capture this cute shot as we were packing up to leave.


Speaking of cute pictures...oh my, that is one darling little boy.  I know I'm biased but I don't care, he is adorable.  We didn't head home until nearly 8 o'clock that evening.  That's just how much fun we were having.  I loved sharing the boat and the experience with my awesome family.  Getting a boat was one of the best decisions we've ever made.  It is the perfect vessel for quality family bonding time.
