This past weekend we took our first vacation of the summer to Lake Mead. We had such a good time, spending most of each day out on the water, or playing on the beach. Aidan and Cruz both loved the boat. Aidan wanted to drive, while the sound and motion of it put Cruz to sleep every time. Although we had a rocky start; The boat had a dead battery, then the impeller went bad and we took on some water, things worked out and we had a great time. Thank goodness Joe is mechanically minded and was able to fix the problems in the first day. After that we had such a relaxing, peaceful time with our boys and family. It was so nice to get away from it all and have absolutely no agenda other than to have fun!
It is fun for me to see Aidan and Cruz enjoying the same things I grew up loving. Playing on the beach in the sand, exploring for "treasure", and riding in an innertube behind the boat. I so look forward to the years to come, bonding with them through fun family time.
