The Last Lake Trip

On the second day of my vacation, we went to Lake El Capitan. Trina and her family drove down to meet us as it would be the last lake trip of the summer. It had started to sprinkle as we loaded in the car in the early hours of the morning. As soon as I woke up Ashton and told him we were going on the boat, he marched straight to the car and buckled himself into his seat belt. He refused to get out of the car to eat breakfast because he wanted to make sure he was going. He probably sat there for a half an hour while we loaded the car. Once on the lake the clouds started to clear and it ended up being a beautiful day. I got to ski and take Ashton on the tube for the first time. He was a little afraid, but once we got going he loved it. He wanted to go faster and wanted to go in and out of the wake so it would bounce. He cried every time we took him off. I already know he's going to be a daredevil. It was a great day trip to the lake. That night we had a family dinner. Our little family of 7 has now grown to 14 once you add spouses and kids. It's fun to get together and to see everyone. Ashton loved seeing Jayne. He talks about her all the time and is always calling her on his pretend cell phone. It was so nice to come home, even though the trip was short. We can't wait for our next one.

Ashton eventually got tired and crawled under the chair for a nap (I picked him up to make it a little more comfortable)
