Lake Watauga

The last night our family was here, we all piled in our cars and drove to Lake Watauga! My Uncle Rick and Aunt Jeri have friends who own a small home on the lake. They have a beautiful deck attached to it. We’ve been there once before, and it was so fun to hang out there again!

The kids had fun fishing with nets and poles. Josh especially loved it-not just because he already loves fishing! More on that later.

It was also my parent’s anniversary! Aren’t they a cute couple? :)

The owner of the house took us out on his boat, and we got to go water skiing!

There’s mom! She’s great at water skiing, even though she hadn’t done it in a long time. She used to live with Uncle Rick and Aunt Jeri, and they went water skiing all the time during the summer!

Dad was pretty good at it too, but he did entertain us with some big falls. ;)

I even tried it! It was my very first time, so it took a few tries for me to get up, but once I did I stayed up for about five minutes! It was super fun.

When we got back from water skiing we just had fun hanging out and making s’mores.

There’s Ashton, one of my many second cousins. :)

There’s there whole family! Mom’s cousin, Chip, his wife Ginny, and their two kids, Luke and Ashton.

Ashton’s so sweet. :)

Uncle Rick, Aunt Jeri, Grandma F, and Grandpa F. Uncle Rick and Grandpa are brothers. They are so funny together!

I loved having all this family here! It was a blast. Hopefully we can visit them in Texas soon!
