This picture just about sums up our awesome trip to Norris Lake...beautiful, crazy, and fun!
We stayed in a five bedroom house right on the lake with five other couples -- the house was awesome...5,000 square feet gave everyone plenty of room to move!
With five little boys between the ages of 18 months and almost 5, there was a lot of this going on throughout the week!
Riley was a little fish the whole week -- he loved jumping off the dock...
and the boat!
He kept saying he was a duck all week and would quack while he was swimming.
Riley and his buddy Carson were the spidey twins all week. I brought plenty of PJs for Riley to wear throughout the week but he would only wear one pair!
Me and my little guy cuddling on the boat.
Sully is one cool dude!
Riley practicing on the trainer skiis before we put him in the water.
More quacking!
Cody was his typical crazy fearless self jumping off the cliff with Carson's daddy.
Sully enjoyed hanging with dad in the warm water.
Riley agreed to try tubing if mommy would go...so I sucked it up and got wet. Lucky for me the water was super warm!

After he tried it with me, he agreed to try it with Carson.
Crazy boys!
If you look closely, Riley and Cody are on the tube to the left and I'm on the tube to the right.
A family photo after tubing together!
Sully hangin' with dad!
Typical silly Sully face!
We got Riley on the trainer skiis...
He got comfortable on it at idle speeds.
We taught him the signs...we were going at idle speed (probably about 5 miles an hour) and he gave us the thumbs down to go slower! Typical first born -- very cautious.
Sully spent some time cuddling and napping on the boat.
Riley and Carson spent a lot of time jumping off the boat and swimming when we switched riders.
Cody loves water and everything to do with it...he spent a lot of time doing water sports all week. Wakboarding....
Demolition tubing....
Wake surfing on the big board...
Slalom skiing...
and wake surfing on the trick board. Definitely no shortage of activities for Cody throughout the week!
Riley pretending he's Batman!

Riley with his Batman sunglasses...too cool!
If you know me at all, you know I'm not a huge fan of the water. My usual excuse is it's too cold...that excuse didn't really work because the water was close to 90 degrees. I gave in to the peer pressure on the last day and tried some new things -- I managed to get up on the skiis in four tries...
I got up on the wakeboard in four tries...
And got up on the surf board the first time!
Sully liked taking a cool dip in the water in between rides!

Very cool kid!
Heading back to the house at dusk on the very last day...it was an awesome last boat ride of the trip. Full moon and not a cloud in the sky!
