Date Day at ZipWild

 Lance planned a day date this week and it was AMAZING!  We did a zipline/ adventure course at Northwest Treks "ZipWild."  It was challenging, a great workout, and so much fun!  Lance gets a big thumbs up for this date!  👍

Banks Lake 2018

We just returned from our annual camping trip to Banks lake.  It was a pretty quiet trip this year as our friends canceled last minute due to a death in the family.  My parents were there for the first few days, and then it was just us.  It was kind of nice having a low key, no plans, family trip.  It was really hot, like 100 degree hot. The water was smooth calm every day, which was amazing.  We were able to tube all day every day, and knee board/ wake board anytime we wanted.

The kids tubed as often as we would let them.

Carson and Rylee both knee boarded a couple of times, and Carson tried skiing.  He got up the skis once, but then got nervous and didn't want to try again.  Maybe next year!  

Here are a couple of videos of them knee boarding.  (The top is Carson and the bottom video is Rylee).  They have some skills!

We did LOTS of relaxing.  We did whatever we felt like.  Floating, fishing, swimming, napping, water sports, etc.  Lance and I won the holy balls tournament (against my parents) once again.  We're pretty stoked that we get to keep the trophy another year!

Lance and the kids fished a lot.  And they caught a lot!  They caught carp, bass, croppy and Lance's first walleye.  

We also did some cliff jumping and diving.  Carson impressed me once again with his fearlessness.  I was pretty nervous watching him jump from so high, but he loved it and did it over and over again!

Here are some videos of the kids jumping and Lance diving.

The kids played together so well.  It made for a very relaxing trip for momma!

One night was still 95 degrees at 8pm.  We decided to get ice cream and take the boat out until it cooled down.  The kids thought that was pretty cool.

Once again Banks Lake did not disappoint.  Can't wait for next year!
