Olsen Family: 24th of July

(If the slide show has quite....simply hit the x in the upper right corner of the black area, and it will restart)

For the 24th of July, we went to Starvation, on the boat. Our niece Summer was out visiting, so we took her with us. This was her first time on a boat. She had a blast!!! We all did!!! It was a beautiful day. The water felt so good. Once we got out there, we all jumped in. Summer wasn't quite sure, so she clung to me. But soon got brave enough to only hold on to me with one hand. Gracie was jumping in. TJ still isn't sure about jumping in. So.....Tony threw him in. I think TJ liked it and thought that was fun, but at the same time was a little scared. Gracie of course had to be thrown in as well. She thought that was great.

When we first got on the boat, Summer was laughing her head off every time we hit a bump. She was so fun to watch and hear, so Tony hit every wave he could. I got a video of it. Unfortunately you can't hear her, but you can see it.

We all took turns riding the tube. First up were Gracie & TJ. We had them go first so Summer could see how it worked.

Summer wanted to go with Uncle Tony. I was driving, so I didn't get a video, but I did get some pictures which you can see in the slide show above. Once we were done with the tube...we got out the knee board. I got proof this time. And I am getting good at it. I can get up pretty fast now. This is a scary picture. Tony was having a hard time with the camera, cause I had left it on video. So it took him a while to get the shot, and the area we were in was pretty wavy, so I was having a hard time bouncing around. The shot he got was when I was coming down from a bounce, so I'm trying to hang on. My face is lovely. Still....here is the proof!
