Carter lake camping

We had a great time camping and boating at Carter Lake last weekend with our friends, the Jenkins family(Scott, Amy, Kiah, and Karis), Debbie, and Kelle. The weather was perfect to be near the water...it reached up to 100 degrees on Saturday. Our campsite was 10 feet away from the shore so we took a lot of dips in the water and several boat rides. Matt and I even wakeboarded and then we took the boys out on the tube. Jonas didn't especially like it...but Silas is always along for the ride with a smile on his face. You will see below.

Karis became Jonas' favorite friend to hang out with for the weekend. She took care of him and made sure he was included with the kid activities.

Jonas was taking it all in and trying to figure out this boating stuff. He was very intense and wanted to make sure everyone was safe.

Jonas was not happy in the boat. He had a special seat where he and dad had to sit. Matt couldn't move.

Games, cooking and eating together was so much fun!

Silas loves camping! Ok...he loves life! He is soooo happy!

Nap time was hot! Jonas continued to sleep his normal 3-4 hour nap. WOW!

Second day, Jonas started to lighten up. Still had to sit on dad's lap in the same seat as the day before.

Third day, we got the boys in the tube. Jonas was on the verge of crying the whole time and Silas was bouncing in my lap just laughing. What different boys they are.

Here is the short clip of us tubing! Can you believe it? What kind of parents are we!

S'MORES...the best thing about camping!

As we pulled the boat out the last day, Jonas finally stood up on his own to look around. Wow! What a change from 2 days prior.
