Lake Mead

Last weekend when my sister and her husband came to visit we did a lot of fun things.  One of those was canoeing/kayaking on Lake Mead.  The water is unbelievably clear and Ty did surprisingly well in the canoe.  We had one canoe and one kayak for 4 hours.  We paddled around, stopped at several places to play in the water, had a picnic on some random island, and had fun throwing rocks in the water.

The gang – Jeremy, Ty, Marissa, Karissa and Morgan

By the end of the day, Ty was super comfortable swimming around the water with his life jacket.

The night before Karissa and Morgan agreed to babysit while Jeremy and I went on a go kart date.  I had never been before and bought a groupon several months ago.  Jeremy said these were really fast cars – they had a brake that you actually had to use to go around the sharp corners or you would hit the wall and get stuck.  I thought I did pretty good for the first time.  It was really humid inside the building so that is why the picture is blurry.
