Trinity Lake, CA

Joel, Emery and Savannah all enjoying the day out on the lake.

Ammon was a willing flagger for all of the downed wake boarders/tubers/skiers.

Me tubing with a very worried Emery (after watching Natalie flip over in the tube) and a giggling Savannah.

We spent the last week before school stared in August at Trinity Lake, California with my brother and his family. We each had our own cabin to stay in and it was only a five-minute drive from the docks. Everyone had a wonderful time skiing, tubing, swimming in the lake for hours, riding in the boat, hiking around the cabins, riding their razors/scooters, eating together, playing board/card games, picking wild blackberries, fishing, and visiting. We loved it all!

Natalie loved skiing on the ski skimmer. She also could not get enough of swimming. She jumped in almost every time the boat stopped and never wanted to get out of the water!

My brother convinced me to try wake boarding. I still enjoy skiing more, but it was fun learning something new (except for when I "crow-barred", a term for smacking your head on the water when you crash- ouch!).

This was one of the boys crashes...

Wesley and Preston with their cousins having a wonderful time.

Preston getting up on the wake board (a huge feat, it took many tries).

Joel skiing doubles, he also got up on the wake board, but he is a near-professional double skier!






Emery even got up on the ski skimmer. It was very funny to watch this tiny man out there being pulled by the boat, terrified and happy!
