Lake Austin boating adventures

The one thing that is better than having a boat... is having some of your neighborhood friends with a boat!!! We went out on a little boating adventure around Lake Austin today!

We cruised the length of the lake for the first bit and admired all of the million dollar lake homes and beautiful rolling hill views! We then parked it for some swimming.

Nico loved getting a running start and jumping in. And he was only slightly freaked out by the many turtles surrounding us. The only downside of this trip is that the propeller gashed David in between his toes when he was helping pull it out of the mud. It was disgusting and required a detour to get some additional first aid kit supplies! There was a high entertainment value watching him maneuver off the boat and onto the raft while trying to avoid getting his toe wet.

 

The lake was pretty calm and perfect for tubing! This was Nico's first tubing day and he was a little apprehensive about it, but he lasted! When it was time for the adults to get on, there was no mercy. Kristen and I both temporarily lost the bottoms of our swimsuits when Richard flipped us off! About this time, David decided to forgo worrying about his toe. He wanted a ride too!

 

 

Evidence of a successful trip!!
