We had a ward activity Saturday at a lake in Shelby, NC. Bishop Poole's (he was the bishop when I was in high school) brother owns a house on Lake Moss. There was two docks and a motor boat. The kids were able to swim at one of the docks. The ward grilled hot dogs and hamburgers, everyone brought sides or deserts. We all so had home made ice cream. YUM!
We got there a little late but right on time for lunch. It was a fight to get the kids to eat. All they wanted to do was swim. We made them wear life vests. Ethan fought us with this rule. He kept wanting to take it off. Poor kid also had trouble staying warm in the water. He came out about four times with blue lips. But we got to hand it to him because he kept getting in.
Sydney did really well swimming. She went with Haily, Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Ryan out on the motor boat. Sydney sat in the front and said it was scary. It took Haily till the very end to get brave enough to actually go swimming. She did get in with Uncle Ryan because she thought Ryan would just hold her. Ryan tricked her and made her actually touch the bottom. After that she decided swimming was not scary.
Of course there was a lot of talking by the adults sitting underneath the big tree. For some reason there was a lot of talk about pregnancy. All day the kids wanted to go out in the paddle boat. Tracy finnally said she would take them out. Unfortuantly she did not get a lot of help from the kids paddling. Unfortuantly she is paying for it today.
