Vacation - Tubing

On Wednesday of vacation week we rented a pontoon boat at Lake Douglas and spent the day motoring around, tubing and fishing. We weren't sure how this would go over and almost cancelled our reservation, but I think this ended up being one of our favorite activities.


We anchored and ate a picnic lunch down one of the many "fingers" of the lake. It was very pretty.


The boys fished for awhile and then decided to jump in with Danielle and me.

 
Although our boat didn't go very fast, the kids still had a great time tubing! Danielle especially enjoyed it!



 



Tyler enjoyed the tube, too, but he always cut his turn short so Danielle could get back on...and because he liked to drive the boat.


 
The water felt really good!
 




Sadly we had to cut our day an hour short because a storm moved across the mountains towards us.



We made it back to the marina safely. The boys fished for a few minutes on the beach by the docks, but didn't catch anything there either. There were a lot of turtles, though! We enjoyed dinner at Mellow Mushroom and then headed back to our cabin to watch a movie. It was a really great day.
