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.
