We went for a long weekend down to Tablerock Lake to test the kids tolerance for boating and all things "lake". Since I am a complete lakerat and want to buy a boat soon, we had to test the waters (literally) to make sure it didn't freak the kids out. To my complete happiness, they loved it and they passed the test with flying colors.
In fact, the first morning out on the pontoon (we rented), we pulled into a cove for the kids to jump in and swim. They were a little nervous at first, but quickly got excited and loved it. Asher was jumping in by himself and swimming over the the ladder. Giya jumped into Lance after about the third time, she jumped in to him and said "I'm so glad you are here, this is a great lake."
They actually cried to leave........
