The Vest Family: Lake Weatherford

Joan and Shon bought a lake house on Lake Weatherford. We haven't been out because they have spent the last several months re-modeling all of it. They invited everyone out for the 4th! Since the 4th was in the middle of the week, Mom and Ron waited until the weekend to go. We wanted to see them so we waited too. We woke up Saturday morning and headed out. We were at the lake around 11:00 and stayed until 10 that evening! The kids had a great time and so did we!

Her first boat ride - It was short lived! She was tired but I thought once we started going the wind would make her go to sleep and everything would be fine. Boy was I wrong. She HATED the life jacket and was not going to give up and go to sleep. We stopped to swim for a little bit and put her in. She was ok for a minute and then realized she still had the life jacket on and started screaming again! I had them take me back to the house and I put her down for a nap. Cooper got off with me so we hung out on the dock after Karsyn went to bed.

While we were on the dock this brave girl got on the tube! She made her Nana (who had a hurt neck) go with her. She has one nice Nana. I couldn't believe she was brave enough to go. After Madison finished tubing they came and got me and Trent stayed with Karsyn and Cooper at the house. Cooper wasn't too interested in the boat. He had more fun on the dock with the water gun.

A view of their house from the dock!

This little girl is a lake rat! She loved it. She loved being on the boat, she loved swimming, she loved the tube. It was so fun to see how excited she was.

I don't think he put this gun down the entire time we were there.

The water was really low but it worked out great because we had this sandy area they could play in. Madison spent a lot of time swimming from the sand to the ladder on the dock. I was impressed that she wasn't scared to swim by herself. Even I don't swim in the lake alone. :)
