We went with some friends today up to Lake Geneva. Though the forecast looked a bit daunting, we were determined to get out on the boat and play on the beach. Risky goals when there are thunderstorms on the radar, but like I said...we were determined!
Well, after about 30 minutes (tops) of being out on the lake, we had to come back in as a thunderstorm approached. We spent some time in the shelter of our cars, and managed to let the kids play at the little beach for a bit (in the rain, once the storm subsided), and we were hoping to get back on to the boat, but the weather only got worse.
As yucky as the weather was, the kids had a blast taking a quick boat ride, and playing in the water & sand, despite the rain and not-so-warm air. And, it was great to see friends, even if for just a little while!
So excited for the boat ride!
On the boat. In their life vests! You can't see it here, but Max's had a fin on the back...so cute! Oh, and Shane's is on backwards...oops.
Love this one...
Caleb had his arm around Meredith while the boat was going. Such a protective big brother. Although, she doesn't appear quite as appreciative.
Diggin'... apparently, he was making birthday cake. Yum.
Our girl, loving the beach...
Caleb and Max, hard at work...
Building sandcastles...
What's a little rain when you're playing in the water anyway?
The duckies came to see us...the kiddos loved them!
Max, Meredith, and Caleb...
Throwing rocks...
