Boating in Cassville, Wisconsin

Friday, 8/24/12

I was so excited for this weekend b/c I was so excited for the big girls! They have never been on a boat and have never tubed before... and I just knew they would love it. I was really hoping to find training skis... but we'll go for that next year. Sean Baragary was gracious enough to bring his boat up to his relatives cabin in Cassville, WI where he can dock the boat right behind the house.... it's a perfect setting & beautiful. Maria, Peyton & Tate Youngblut were with us as well!

This was the first night when we were getting set up and tubes ready for the next day.  I could not turn any of these pictures down b/c of the kids facial expressions :)

I love it...Wiam decides to just 'read-a-book' ;)

Pretty girl Wiam! :D

Pretending they are on the boat already :)

Saturday, 8/25/12 - thanks to Lacy & Maria for the life jackets... and the girls were READY to go!

Lydia a little unsure of the boat... just checking it out ;)

But since the big girls were fine w/it... then she will be too of course :)

Bringing down big-girl :)

Maria's got Tate...

Have to put the life-jacket on LeaAnn... she did not like it AT ALL.

And we were off!

of course she's posing :)

so cute of Peyton & Lauren

and LeaAnn deciding she'd rather just be in the rafts too ;)

Lauren & Lindsay saw the pictures of Chris & Ryan tubing, and Chris trying to tip Ryan over... so that is what they thought they were supposed to do ;)

Getting into the swing of things :)

And so were they!

Always up for a smile :D

Getting a little braver... and going a little faster.

Sean being a good boy :)

Peyton jumped off and just the Beyer girls went...

Chris, Sean, Peyton, Lauren & Lindsay all went back out later that afternoon and Maria & I opted to stay w/the little people so the big girls could have more fun and a longer time out. Evidently Baragary was really trying to throw them off :) and they kept saying, "bring it on!" They hung on for dear life and had a blast... wish I could have gotten a picture of that.

After the last boat ride, warming up...

And later that night, Sean found all of us hats that we had to wear while playing 500 :D

He was pretty proud of himself ;)

Set my handy-dandy timer... and viola - we have a picture of all of us!

Had a blast Baragary! Thanks so much and hope the tradition continues! :D
