Friday

On Friday afternoon, we headed up to Lake Owyhee.

Our group included the four of us, Mom (Dad had to work), Max, Amanda,

Matt, and Ron and Carol (Amanda's parents).

This is Emma's favorite spot on the boat.

Sorry, Matt...I had to include this one.
He didn't know I was taking this as he gazed off.
Wonder what he's thinking?!

Emma got to drive the boat

Ryan had so much fun. Max and Amanda have taken Ryan on the boat

a couple of times this summer. He's been on the knee board, but there has always been someone in the water to get him started. This time, he decided that he wanted to

try to get up on his own. He did it on the first try! He had such a look of determination on

his face. He tried really hard to crest the wake, but he just wasn't heavy enough.

Emma caught her first fish!

She, Ron and Carol were in the front of the boat. Each

time we stopped to get someone else in the water, she and Ron would pull out the fishing pole.

It was pretty funny to watch...one second the fish was coming over the edge of the boat, and the next second she was on her way to the back of the boat...

as far away from the fish as possible.
