Memorial Day at Norris Lake

Brent and Matt right before the jump into the lake. Thank goodness the water was high.
Elli went to sit on this bench away from all of us because it was close to some little girls. Uncle Matt decided to go sit with her so she wouldn't be by herself.
While we were swimming in the lake, these ducks flew right over to see if we had food. Elli was ready to share her peanut buuter crackers with them, with daddy's help that is.
Ice cream trips are a big part of our time at the lake. Elli asks for it all the time. We made two trips, in the same day:) How yummy.
Elli is definately crying because she doesn't like the "little" boats. I was torn between making her ride on it and see that it is not scary, and just leaving her alone. Obviously, I made her ride. She did calm down but doesn't want to ride on it again. We'll see.
We ran out of eggs and needed them to make brownies and breakfast. So, when we filled up the boats we asked if we could buy some eggs. They sold them to us from the kitchen. Brent drew the short straw and had to ride with them all the way back to Gary's condo. None of them broke.
I know Elli doesn't look happy, but she really is. She loved sitting with Leah and did most of the time while riding on the boat.
This is HEather and I riding towards the boat for a picture. We had fun playing on the jet skis and we didn't even knock each other into the water this time.
