This past July, we went to my mother-in-law's house in South Carolina. Brittany's best friend, Alicia, came along with us and the girls had such a ball! My brother-in-law has a ski boat, so we went tubing one day. When the raft hit the wake from the boats, it would bounce all over the place! Watching them from the boat made me a nervous wreck, at times, but they had so much fun! Brittany is on the left, Abby is in the middle, and Alicia is on the right. They laughed and giggled the entire time!
I even got on the raft and went tubing! It was a lot of fun, but there were a couple of times when I saw my life flash before my eyes...thanks to Chris, who was driving the boat! Brittany and I hit some waves and we went flying! Thank goodness for life jackets, is all I have to say! I'll do just about anything to make some memories with my family! Here's the proof...
The calm before the storm...
And just a few minutes later...
POW!!! Britany and I both got plastered right in the face! Alright, you can stop laughing now!
I'm supposed to tag 4 people, but I'm just going to say that if you'd like to play along, please join in the fun! Have a magnificient Monday!

April,
Yes...what a blast, huh!!! About your comment on my blog ..yes, we were able to be on the lake the last couple of days...the temperature was in the high 70's and was 80 yesterday and not a cloud in the sky. HOWEVER, a cold front has moved through and it will be in the 60's for the rest of the week. There will still be people out skiing on the lake!
I had to wear a long sleeve 'spring' suit to keep me warm but other than that it was beautiful!
I enjoyed your pictures, sweet friend. Happy Monday to you!!
Love the pictures....they look like they had an absolute blast....stopping by from SITS
I think I've said it before, but, I'll say it just one more time, you are a scream! That photo is an absolute hoot!
Great photos and family fun! :) Looking at them certainly brought back memories. I never have been tubing, but have watched from the boat (chicken me :)). The first person I ever saw do it lost his shorts, and his life jacket got stuck on the tube so he couldn't get off! He was stuck, naked with a boat full of women watching as his shorts floated on the river at an ever increasing distance away. Poor thing! I decided I did NOT want that to happen to me!
Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day! :)
Fun tag. I've already been tagged to do this, and in a few days, I will. I love those shots of a fun family time.

I have some bloggy love for you!

That is such a neat picture April--you caught Alicia right up in the air! Our family has gone tubing like that too, and it really is lots of fun--you don't need to know how to waterski to do it!
You couldn't have picked a better photo! That is priceless! I feel like I can practically imagine
I am flying along behind the boat too! :)
