Mini-O Reunion

We are missing out on the Big O Family Reunion since we will be at Uncle Tyler's wedding so we decided to have a mini-o reunion with just my parents and Uncle Ben. We enjoy going to Pomme de Terre so much that my parents are considering buying a lake house there. Too bad it wasn't just a little closer!!

Zoe showed us again on this trip what a tough little girl she is. We were unloading at the cabins while the kids were playing on the deck. Grandpa O was head back up the hill from putting the boat in and Zoe went to go see him and didn't realize there were 3 stairs off the deck onto the gravel. She went head first, luckily missed her head on every single step, put her hands down so they hit first and did a front flip into the gravel before sliding a few feet. She literally cried for 5 seconds and was ready to go again. Not a single scratch or bump on her. I guess watching Grey's gymnastics class for the last year has paid off!

Grey was in heaven on the boat. He loved going fast, being pulled behind the boat, watching others being pulled behind the boat, swimming, jumping, and even just hanging out on the dock was pure happiness for him.

 Zoe on the other hand was her typical self. She either LOVED it or LOATHED it and you could never tell which one it would be. She did enjoy swimming in the water but always wanted to "jump" in like everyone else. She would scream and cry one minute and then the next time would be giggling. You just never know with this silly girl!

 Throw me again, daddy! AGAIN!!

He loved it when people would let him jump over them. So cute!

 Zoe really wanted to partake in my beverage. It was hot!

 Trying out the e-z ski trainer from the docked boat the first evening. He was a natural. He loved yelling HIT IT!!

 The girls: Quinn, Granny Jo, Me, & Zoe

 First try out on the e-z ski

 He was out there for at least 15 minutes being pulled behind the boat. 

 Standing up! 

 Taking a break to cool off!

 Zoe wanted to try :)

 Uncle Ben on the air chair. He forgot his wakeboard back at home!

 Uncle Ben on the homemade wake skate

 Grey loved watching him do tricks and fall down

 Daddy on the wake skate. He realized that it wasn't quite like a surf board when he tried to go to one knee and skinned it up on the grip tape pretty bad!

 Granny Jo & Grandpa O

 Ben showing Grey how to move your hand in the wind when the boat goes fast

 Nicki and Chris came down to play, too!

 Jumping off the dock at the Shaffer dock

 Zoe finally warmed up to Grandpa O by the end of the trip!

 She liked it this time out...

 Grey again on the e-z ski. He could have done it all day long. He got some air on this ride :)

 Watching daddy

 Can't wait until next summer!!
