Everybody's doin' it, SeaDoo

We LOVE Nolin Lake. I have many, many wonderful memories there and hope that my children will also have lake memories one day. There's been "talk" for a while that my grandparents are selling the compound. I like to call it compound opposed to it's current title "big, huge, ugly, green porched, double wide trailer(s) meshed together into a conglomerate representing a residence with a huge sign that reads POGUE". If they do sell, I imagine most of our lake memories will be made on Barren River. Pap and Nana like to take the kids there to ride in the boat and fish. Either way, the lake is free fun (and a short distance). We went to Nolin on Memorial Day and met up with our peeps from Louisville and Nicholasville. We had a great time hanging out on the dock, chatting, eating fish and riding on the boat and SeaDoo.

Karson braving the SeaDoo (thanks Andrew).

Miles's turn on the SeaDoo.

Isaac's next on the SeaDoo. Yeah right. It took our delicate flower a while to warm up to the lake scene. He basically hung out on the dock, ate chips and drank Pepsi. He's not the bravest of kids (he gets that sense of fear from me).
Karson is my "gum girl". She and I are blessed with large gums. We can smile without showing our teeth--quite a trait, don't you think?

Isaac decided it was time to do some little brother torturing and mess with the steering wheel on the boat. Hands OFF, this is Miles domain ONLY! He will certainly let you know when he is angry. Look at Isaac's sneaky grin, he knows EXACTLY what he is doing.

Miles making sure all the gadgets work properly. Safety first!

Miles still in charge of the ship. "So, uh, where do you all want to go? You just want to stay parked here, that's fine."

  1. It cracks me up how alike our kids are...they just fit right into that 1st, 2nd, 3rd child role! Tell Isaac I'd be right there with him on the dock enjoying the chips and Pepsi! They are adorable...and I'm such a water-chicken that I'm very impressed you do fun things like take your kids to the lake. I WANT to do cool stuff like that, but my poor kids are stuck with digging up our yard for their summer fun! :)

  3. Ahh, I remember us taking Chase and Karson there one day YEARS ago, back when it was easy with just 1 kid a piece! Wasn't I like totally scared about something there?? Who knows, I am a chicken too! Looks like lots of fun though, I hope your grandparents decide to keep it a little longer :)
