The first picture has a story. Karin was climbing on the boat, Diane sees her getting ready to walk over to a place to sit and starts telling Karin very loudly, "don't sit down!" Somehow Karin had picked up this huge hook. Actually the fishermen here must not be careful with their tackle, this was not the only time a hook hooked something other than a fish.
Diane with her bags walking down from Rachel's campsite to where the boat was waiting.
Ruth and Fede stealing a kiss before heading out for our three hour tour.
Steven and Luke being pulled by the pontoon boat. This worked well until Mike opened up the gas and the pontoon took off at full speed. At that point we realized the rubber boat was going to take in water so they were pulled back in and rode the rest of the way on the pontoon.
Ebby enjoying the ride.
We stopped at one beach but decided it was too small and took off exploring until we found a island. The pontoon was anchored and the kids let out to go exploring.
Dan pulled up with his speed boat and all 7 of his family. Once he unloaded anyone that wanted to go wakeboarding went on his boat while the rest of us just enjoyed the island and the water.
Luke and Logan deciding if they should jump off, Steven is looking at a cave.
Luke hurling himself off the edge of the island into the water.
Logan decided it was easy enough to do a flip while hurling himself off.
We were having fun trying to catch them in midair. Sometimes we were successful but other times the camera would snap as they were entering the water, those pictures were deleted.

A bunch of the kids as they start to explore the island. There were even better caves on the other side.
Sophia jumping. Dan's family had just come from Lake Norfork where all the kids had been jumping off Norforks cliffs. Those cliffs are 30-50 feet high so these little ones were not much challenge for his family.
Ruth getting some nap time in.
Karin took all the video, her camera is waterproof so the video will be posted once she has it up. The trip was successful and we were very glad we decided against bringing the horses. The heat has been unrelenting this summer, making horse camping not very desirable. It is to be in the 90s again today and tomorrow's high is predicted to be 96. Even mom cannot remember such a long heat spell, day after day of temperatures in the 90s. Maybe there really is something to this global warming.
