40th!

David and D'Ann threw me a suprise party for my 40th birthday. And boy was I surprised. Thought we were heading over for a casual Sunday evening swim, they even had me make ice cream so I wouldn't be suspicious, and instead had a wonderful night celebrating my 40th with family and friends. Isn't my cake beautiful?

Little Fisherman

With his favorite Dora fishing pole.

Dock Jumpers

Happy Paddler

The boys were dying to ride the paddleboat. Thomas peddled for about 5 seconds and then asked me to switch places with him. Love Jon's silly smiles.

Early Morning Swimmer

Thomas was alone swimming in the early morning, but had a ball.

Early Morning Ski

Boat Sunrise

Early the next morning, my cousin Jeremy and Bobby wanted to go skiing. Immediately after this shot, my camera fogged up from the humidity and didn't clear until after Jeremy had already skiied. Thomas wanted me to wake him up early so he could go out on the boat too. Jon was mad when we got back that I hadn't awakened him.

Doggy Paddle

Bobby and Patty's dog, Evie, loves being at the lake. I think she's so cute in her life jacket. :-)

Group Fun

Everyone had fun playing in the lake...even Evie, the puppy.

Thomas Jumping

I can't decide which of these two is my favorite.

The Flying Cross.
Or The Walking On Water.

Thomas and Bobby

had a lot of fun playing together. Bobby showed him how to do a watermelon dive.
