Milford Lake Outing (June 22)

We had a full weekend where nothing was planned so we decided to take the boat out of town. Robb had been wanting to try out Milford lake which was about 3 hours away. We packed a lunch, snacks and stuff to BBQ later. John, Megan and our family headed out for the day.
The lake was huge and probably usually would have been a great lake for water sports but we picked the windiest day of the entire summer to go.
 
About the only water sports we could do was tube and swim. The kids had a blast but we had to throw the rope out to them so they could pull themselves back in after they had been swimming because the boat would float so far away so fast.

Bryce was a brave tuber!

This picture of Robb cracks me up! Abby was going to jump at the same time as him but decided not to at the last minute. I guess this is his mean face to her.

We all had a fun day! We learned that the boat can handle waves higher than it and still make it through. After a day on the lake we attempted to grill out at the state park. Thanks to John and Robb's creativity we had grilled hamburgers. To stop the hurricane force winds they had turned picnic tables on their end as a wind break. Thanks to the creativity of Megan and I we could still have s'mores even though we didn't bring sticks to cook the marshmallows on. We instead wrapped them in foil and stuck them in the fire that the boys had made.
