The new tube

Even though it was Labor Day weekend and we knew the lake would be crowded as can be, we decided we really wanted to try out our new tube. So we pulled the kids out of bed and put them in the truck at 7:00 on Sunday morning and made the quick drive to the lake. Julie and Ben came with the kids and we made a big morning of it. We were there early enough to get a couple hours of pretty calm water before too many other boats got there. And then we had some fun on the rougher water before calling it a day a little after lunchtime. Paul was the first to hop on the new tube (along with Frejya) and he did awesome. He absolutely loved the tube until we accidentally capsized it with all three of the big kids on it (oops!). And then he was done with it. Tubing is fun but being underwater is not so fun. I spent a lot of time on the tube. Way too much time if my insanely sore muscles are any indication. But it was so worth it.
