Christina and Steve decided to go boating for the weekend, so we went to join them. Kevin stayed behind to catch up on much needed sleep, so technically Jameson and I went. We left Friday night, and picked up my cousin who needed a ride to Sac for a wedding. We ended up needing to stop in Grass Valley to pick up his tux. Well, Jameson got carsick on the winding roads and threw up. Luckily, I had Jessie to help clean it up. He finally fell asleep for the rest of the trip. So we got to there at about midnight. I laid Jameson in bed and by 12:30 he was crying. He continued to cry on and off all night so I got about zero hours of sleep.

My mom snapped this at about 6 am before she sent me to bed.

Well I did take him out to the car and got some sleep out there for a bit. It was a fun night. Saturday morning, my mom took him so I could get some sleep before boating. They woke me up about 15 minutes before leaving, and the put Jameson in the other car. I’m sure they new I was about ready to break if he cried one more time. We got to the lake, and some one was already set up in our campsite. When my mom told him we had reserved the campsite and tried to tell him our name was on the sign on the tree, he told us that they didn’t do reservations. Really? So we got the lady from the front office to come and explain the situation to him. She gladly showed him the name on the “Reserved” sign on the tree. After quite a few choice words, and about 25 minutes, they were packed and gone. His wife apologized, though, so the lady was willing to give them another campsite. How mad do you think they were that we didn’t even stay the night there?

Paul, my mom, and I stayed on the shore while Christina, Steve, Steve’s sister Carrie, her family, Don and the girls went out on the boat. It was nice to relax, I still hadn’t recovered from that night. Jameson was playing in the car, and locked the doors before we pulled him out. Luckily, the windows were cracked enough. Paul used the windshield wiper to push the unlock button. That could have been bad. They came back in and we went out on the boat. Jameson needed a nap and he does not like the boat. So he goes to sleep. He slept the entire time out on the boat.

Paul on the wakeskate… till he reinjured his toe.

John and Jaxon

A little man love between Steve and John

   

Jordan was so proud of his gloves.

 

How cute does Drew look in pink?

 

A patient driver, who may have dragged Steve over a boulder.

Jaxon and John… little daredevil, or very well bribed.

What are you asking Steve?

Drew took advantage of the time we were changing the tube for boards. He was ready to take the driver’s seat.

 

Steve and Christina tried to get Kayden to ride the “water 4-wheeler” with them, but he was not having it.

John tested out his knee board skills. Check out that 360!

Steve had a bugar 🙂

Christina showed Steve how to ride the knee board. She was very excited as you can see.

Steve was still able to wake board even after he got dragged over a boulder. Kayden cheered him on from the front.

Then it was Steve’s turn to see if he could master the knee board. He says his arms were too weak. Whatever. It’s not like wakeboarding all day makes you tired. Sorry you let your wife show you up, Steve. 😉

 

John took one last turn before we headed in.

We headed back in, and all the boys had a blast riding in the front. Jordan fell asleep just as we pulling the boat out of the water.

 

Jameson finally woke up as we pulled the boat out. Drew kept him company in the front while we packed up to go.

John and Carey left straight from the lake and headed home. We went back to Mom’s and bbq’d.  The neighbors have a fruit tree, and the branch that hangs over Mom’s fence is nectarines. Drew loved them!

Jameson, once again, found a baby toy he wanted to play with. He thought it was a car and would chase people around the kitchen.

Sunday morning, the Dixons headed out, the Paul headed back to school. We were the only ones left. Jameson took full advantage. He saw us pick some nectarines off the tree, and after that it was over. He constantly had a nectarine in each hand. He decided to take a trip in the fountain. At that point, I didn’t care about keeping him clean and dry. I would change him before we left. He watered grandma’s garden for her, and then decided he needed to swim.

 

He didn’t like the apricotts as much (they weren’t quite ripe).

He laid out, dried off, then tried to put his socks back on so we could go. He got changed, then we headed off. Traffic wasn’t too bad coming home, which was nice. We spent the rest of Father’s Day relaxing with Kevin.
