Lake Clementine

September 6th, 2009 / posted by Jake

This summer has been full of water activities.  Late in July, we were invited to spend a few days at Lake Clementine with a close friend of Lindsey’s family.  One of the activities we especially enjoyed was being able to climb to the top of their houseboat and jump into the clear water below – some 13-15 feet!  The first day Tyler had no problems doing this by himself, however on the second day he was afraid to try it again for some reason even after I jumped reminding him of how much fun it was.

The kids also enjoyed playing in the sand as well as floating around in the surprisingly warm lake.  Tyler got a huge kick out of riding around on the ski-boat because it was fast and had all sorts of gadgets of which to play.  Luckily we had SPF 70 sunscreen on and walked away sunburn free which was a great thing for us all.  I mention this because my history with beach/pool/lake activities consists of a lot of fun in the water and sun followed by the worst 3-4 days of my life due to a severe sunburn.
