Catching Up: How we Spent Father's Day

We had an absolutely fabulous day on Father's Day.  We spent the morning and afternoon on Lake Mead with Kristin & Corby and their boys on the boat.  It was a nice treat getting to go out on the boat with them.  I love watching the "big boys" all play in the water and ride the tube.  Josh was a bit braver this year than he was last year, but still didn't get in the tube.  That's alright.  He reminds me of Chrystal when we were little and mom and dad had a boat.  Chrystal would get in the boat while it was on the trailer and refused to get out until it was on the trailer again and out of the water.  She was terrified of the water.  Me on the other hand tried to come up with every excuse I could to get in the lake and out of the boat.  Josh does get out of the boat though while we were beached on a little shore and had lots of fun playing in the sand.  Addy wasn't really sure of the water, but did okay as long as she was being held and not too far if she was on the sandy part.  She even got in the tube this time (Kincaid did too).   All 4 of the big boys cried when it was time to go home, a sure sign they were all having lots of fun.  I don't want to think about the end of the summer, because by the end of the summer we'll be losing Kristin and family...I'm not sure who is going to be more sad; me or the boys or Addy...we'll be losing our dearest friends.  That's the way it is though in the AF - thankfully it's a pretty small world in the AF though and we can  hope to be stationed with them again sometime in the future and am certain we'll meet up on travels and adventures.
