The Jamey's and the Kasey's came to the beautiful Rogers, AR to enjoy a marathon day on Beaver Lake. Some may say they now have the Beaver Fever and will come more often. We had 7 cousins together and they can make some noise! Everyone arrived late Friday night so it was inside play until their early bed time at 12:45 am. They were having tons of fun digging through all the toys and I mean all of them. At least they get played with every once in a while! Em an Ella were planning on sleeping together but that only lasted a very short time before they were separated to get some real sleep. After a few hours of sleep we were up and moving for the lake...although not fast enough for Myles. We stayed out on the lake from 10:30 to 8:30. Steve made chicken wings for our lake lunch and they were a hit. The kids mowed right threw them. I made the ever famous peanut butter fingers to celebrate Myles' 8th birthday. Unfortunately I couldn't get the candles to light so we sang and he faked a good blowing out of the candles. Throw in a bag of Doritos and Camden was a happy camper. Everyone tubed except Kale. Steve tossed Ryan and Kasey around like a couple of rag dolls. Jamey tried to dump Steve and I off with no luck. Jamey and Kasey both slalomed and are probably paying for that today! Logan skied some. The big story is that Myles skied for the first time. I stayed in the lake and helped him and Jamey held the other end of the rope so that he could video Myles' accomplishment. He was a natural! Emerson gave it try as well. She was really nervous so she had a hard time standing up. She hung in there for 2 tries and made it a little way but never quite stood up. I was so proud of her as she tried even though she was afraid. Next time she will get it for sure. Jamey and the boys played several round of "King of the tube" and I don't think Jamey ever won. The dads left us floating in the lake to go get dinner and a cooler refill. We didn't think we would be there all day so we weren't prepared. Some of Kasey's friends were there and they had a jet ski. The boys made a new best friend Zack (Kasey's friend's husband) who took them on several rides. They even let me drive. Logan has asked me more than once to buy a jet ski. I don't think so! After another round of tubing and skiing we called it a day. It was so much fun!
Thanks for coming! Now Jamey needs to buy a boat so that we call all go at one time!
