We had a fabulous week on a houseboat in Mead. Every year for like the past 10 years or something Drew and his high school buddies take a trip to either Lake Powell or Lake Mead. Now that most of the friends are married, the wives and kids get to come along... Lucky us! It is great to get away from work... household chores... and cell phone service! through the years the number of people who can make seems to dwindle... people get busy and money gets tight... but we have a great time with whoever can make it.
Ty and his girl Sophie helping drive the boat.
Ty even got to do some wake boarding with Dad!!
So... I was out swimming one morning for a work out and I see in the far distance the jet ski coming towards me... but I didn't see any one riding it... until it got closer and there was Ty driving the jet ski with Drew ducked down below him so I couldn't see him... it was the funniest thing... to see Ty driving by himself... and happy as could be.
The first few days of the trip were a bit cold and windy... but Ty still loved and wanted to go for wave runner rides. .... here I am taking him on a run... we're bundled in sweatshirts under our life jackets! ...but we still had fun.
Ty had such a great time. We took him last year when he was only a month old... so this year it was so fun to watch him pay and fall in love with the wave runner and jet ski... he could play on them all day.
The boy did lots of fishing... this year with scuba gear and a spear. ...Don't you love Koby as Scuba Steve!!
Fishy Lips.... the entire trip!!
Lots of fun playing in the sand.
Except sand and chocolate chip cookies don't mix... but then again try telling that to Ty!

Okay... so Tom, Koby and Drew all started a contest the week before the trip to see who could grow the best mustach... Boys can be so weird. ... I think Tom totally won this one.Ty on the jet ski.

How fun! Those are some awesome pictures of Ty on the jet ski and wakeboarding.
Ps, do you think you could remove our last name from your list of blogging friends? Just for privacy sake, you know? (I hate being googleable) Thanks!
That looks like a ton of fun and sounds like a great tradition to go down there every year! I can't believe how big Ty is getting and he is just as cute as can be!
It looks liek you guys had an amazing time. I am sitting hear extremely jealous. Those stache picks were hilarious. I had friend in college that did that...you had to grow a mustache to get into the party that weekend. My boyfriend at the time was asian and could only grow like three really long hairs...it was awful!
Looks like y'all had a blast!!!
we had so much fun!! Until next year and pray that mustache's are old by then:)
Looks like fun! But I just have to ask, Celeste, HOW can you let Ty up on the wakeboard like that?! I would die of fright and I don't consider myself an uptight mom.
What a blast!! We'll have to do something like that sometime! That is so dang cute with Ty on the wave runner and Wake boarding---crazee!! Good thing Drew is good enough to do that.
What a fun trip!! I love all these pictures!! I'm sure Ty had a ball, doing all kinds of 'rough and tough' things with his daddy! What a crack up, with the jet ski!
Looks like you had a blast! I'm amazed you don't freak out and worry about him drowing! Does he fall in the water a lot?
Wow, I think you are going to have an Olympic Wakeboarder on your hands! Looks like fun!
Gee that trip looked like so much fun. I loved all the pictures...Ty is quite the little guy...I love it. I can't believe you let Ty on the wake board..I would have been dying...Good mom you are.
