A Memorial Day to Memorialize

The Jones' invited the Ellis crew over on Memorial Day for lunch and an afternoon of boating on Lake Lavon.
Connie and Jay Jones
Jeremy and Amanda Jones
Natalie, Sam, Matt, and Ethan Ellis
We spent hours tubing
And skiing
Then when Brother Jones finally got a turn to get on the water and show us all his slalom skills...
the boat broke.
Luckily, after a few unsuccessful hours of trying to fix the boat ourselves, we only had to push/pull/paddle the boat for about 10 minutes before another boat figured out we needed help and came and towed us in.

We had a great time! It's definitely not the worst thing in the world to be stuck on a boat in the middle of a lake on a beautiful evening with some very fun friends.

how fun! Boating i think is one of the most fun things in the world. I absolutely love tubing, what a rush! except when you are on the tube with one said husband who insists on making it impossible to hold on.
