Happy Father's Day...Daddy! You are the BEST!
As tradition goes, we spend every Father's Day weekend at the Lake with the Naifeh family. This year, we downscaled a little bit and it was just the "Joe Naifeh Family" that came. We always have my family in town, too! It was a nice weekend, in spite of the not so nice weather. It was "iffy" most of the weekend, but of course, we made the best of it. Sittie and Jidi came out on the Lake with us as did Aunt Jan! Ginny and Pop didn't make it out with us. These pictures were taken before the first rain shower...CUTE pics...huh???
They were both GREAT sports and EAGER to be the youngest most active "old folks' on the Lake. I do not have everyone's pictures yet, but Sittie rode the innertube!!! Here is a picture of Jidi riding the SeaDoo with Ally. He said she was the best, most responsible driver. We are not sure who she gets that from....hmmm.
Right after this picture was taken, all Hell broke loose on the water. Pardon my French, but it was HORRIBLE! I have NEVER seen the waves white cap like they did-we felt like we were in the middle of the ocean. I had to ride the SeaDoo back from the Rope Swing Cove to Winn Springs! Whew...what a ride I had...the pictures do not do it justice at all!
I was soooo sore the next morning. I felt like I had been riding a horse for weeks. We went in to the house, rested for about an hour, and then headed back out for what ended up being a fabulous late afternoon on the Lake!
We had burgers at our house that night for dinner. The kids played around the neighborhood and rode the golf cart. It was a nice evening. It was Aunt Jan's turn to stay with us, and the kids were excited to have her there!
Sunday morning we got out on the water early to do water sports. Poor, poor Daddy had to stay at the house. He grilled ribs for everyone for Father's Day Lunch. We missed him out on the water, but boy were his ribs delicious! Sunday became the day for...

Abby is doing AWESOME in her skiing already this year! She has mastered skiing on two skis, and is now tackling skiing slolem! Her Daddy and I are so very proud of her! She has the determination to do anything her heart desires! Here are some other miscellaneous pictures from the weekend.
My Oney has also (out of nowhere) decided to master skiing on two and try to get up on one ski! I am so proud of him for finally overcoming his fears and going after something on his own. He also got brave in this first picture, and reached out and grabbed a tree skiing down the Tom Bigby Waterway!

R. I. P. Anchor
I am going to end my post with this sad moment. Daddy lost his anchor (not the one pictured) last week. It was the same anchor that we have owned since we have been in Pickwick from the beginning. He is still in mourning I believe. He hasn't been able to find that EXACT one yet, so we have been improvising. Today we used the SeaDoo anchor (pictured above). Of course, his friends had a great ttime with that after he bragged to them for all of these years about being "well-hung".
Another wonderful weekend with friends and family making memories for life! Thank you Lord for all of the blessings in my life. I do not deserve them but I sure do love having them!
