Today we celebrated Father's Day on the lake! It was the perfect first day of Summer. When we arrived the lake was calm and beautiful! I love the smells at the lake and the cool breeze rushing across my face.
We left home when there was a break in the clouds and were able to enjoy clear skies and sunshine for most of our time on the water.
Mr. Stannix is always happy to be on the water driving his boat. When we first started out we had to maneuver around the beach area and a couple of sea doos. They created the perfect wave and despite our slower than normal speed, we sent Grampa and the two big kids flying through the air on the tube! Hyrum was quick to pat his head and request us to stop, eyes wide from the air they had just caught. We all had a good laugh about it afterward!
Oliver does not sit still on the boat! He loves being on the water!
After one of our stops, Sawyer made his way to the back of the boat and pointed to the tube. He wanted a ride so bad! Daddy hopped on and put Sawyer on his lap and we took them for a spin.
When it started getting really hot, we stopped the boat and went for a swim. None of the kids wanted to jump in though, so I told them I'd go! Mr. Stannix and I held hands and jumped into the chilly lake together. I could jump into anything as long as I have this guy beside me!
Fin was feeling brave and wanted to test out his new life jacket. He decided to slowly climb off the ladder and towards his Dad in the lake. It took us a lot of coaxing to finally get him in the water (it was cold at first), but he was so happy after he finally did it!
Camilla jumped in right away after to help Fin feel more confident.
After threatening to throw him over board, Hyrum made his way slowly into the water as well.
It was a gorgeous day! I am so lucky to be surrounded by gentle and kind fathers who are always serving and helping others. We finished up the evening with Chinese food for dinner with Gramma and Grampa. Camilla and Fin made special name tags for the place settings and got the table all decorated up while I went to pick up the food. We sure love our Dads!
