A Day on the Lake

Jason and his brother Jeff had the good idea to rent a boat and go out on Deer Creek Reservoir last week. There were a million boats on the lake and the water was really choppy so about all it was good for was some tubing. Jason took both of our girls out on the tube. When he took Sage he lost his balance and fell off into the lake. We looked back a few seconds latter to see Jason floating in the water a ways back and Sage just crying her eyes out and holding on to the tube for dear life.


We quickly pulled her in and then went back to pick up Jason. By the time Sage got into the boat she had worked herself into such a upset that she had made her nose bleed and had blood running down her face. Poor little thing thought that her Dad was lost forever and that we were just going to leave him there in the lake. She got over it pretty quickly though once we picked up Jason and she saw that it was just fine.


It was Hallie's turn next and she was quite unsure of it. But we just threw her in the tube and by the time they got going she was having a great time.
It was a fun day and nice to be out on the lake with the kids. They loved it, despite a few moments of tears.
