Day at Tippy Lake

Our friends, the Colglazier's, invited us to their summer house on Tippecanoe Lake. We drove up on Friday morning and stayed over, returning on Saturday. Friday was the best day of the weekend and we had a great time. As soon as we got there, the kids wanted to go for a boat ride so Wade fired up the pontoon. We had a nice cruise around the lake and the kids even swam a bit when we stopped on the ride. The water was a little chilly but the kids didn't seem to mind. We got back, had a snack and a beverage, then went back out on the ski boat. We brought along the Hot Dog to go for rides. It was Spencer's first time doing anything like this and he was a natural! He even rode by himself for quite a while. Then he tried the tube, but ended up falling off and that was the end of the watersports for the day. I think he was a little freaked out falling into that big lake and being out there by himself. Christine jumped in and swam out to him and all was good. We came back to the house, had a terrific steak dinner (thanks Janet!), then relaxed on the deck. Once it got dark, we had the firepit going and the kids roasted some marshmellows. However, as soon as Christine broke out the sparklers we bought, the s'mores were quickly forgotten. All in all, we had a great time and hope to head back up again!
