Half of one day was spent at Smith and Moorehouse reservoir and our last full day was enjoyed at Rockport Reservoir.
Abby playing in the water at Smith and Moorehouse. This girl loves the water and became so much more brave after this reunion!
Our day at Rockport reservoir was AWESOME!!! I had never been on a waverunner and I've always wanted to try one. Scott and my brother Matt rented one and it was so much fun!! Now, I want one!
We brought our kayaks with us and rented two canoes with the lodge so we had quite the assortment of watercraft.
Lilly spent most of the time at the reservoir playing on her mat and taking naps! The towel made it an awesome tent!
Abby wanted to ride in the small kayaks and so Scott had the brilliant idea to push her through the shallows and she loved it!!
My sister in law Amy and I having a fantastic ride on the tube!
While out on the waverunner, Scott and our niece Madeline hit the wave from a big boat and flew about 7 feet into the air. The ride back to shore was a little more pain filled than I think they anticipated when they climbed on the tube!
Lilly didn't really enjoy the lifejacket and being in the water but once she was away from those things she did great!
Our trip to the reservoir was great. There were a few huge crazy things that happened though! While pulling my two13 year old nephews on the tube I must have run over the rope and it got tangled under the boat. We were so far out in the reservoir that no one could tell we needed help. We climbed off and started swim/pushing the waverunner back to shore. It was excruciatingly painful!! We were making a little progress but it would have taken FOREVER to get back to shore. Another nephew went by on a kayak and so we sent him back to shore to get help and my brother Joe came out and towed us back to shore. Eventually the men were able to cut the rope and get the waverunner working again!
