the ballet girls ..

we had our annual ballet girls to the lake day last week ..

sadly ronda and her girls were not able to join us ..

but we managed to have a great day .. 

lots of flying thru the air .. 

and falling off ..

and cliff jumping ..

and sweet smiles ..

they even managed to actually all stand up on the tube ..

until next year girls ..

south dakota ..

since the kids are getting ready to leave for colorado in a few days 

i thought i better share the south dakota trip pictures ..

mom .. dad and the kids meet up with the side x side group that mom and dad ride with ..

they all brought their grand kids ..

look at all those side x sides ..

i wonder what the people in the little town thought when they saw all of them coming ..

dirt and orange pop ..

cash's most favorite things ..

this is a huge rock with a tunnel through it for cars ..

not freightliners ..

dad barely fit thru .. 

mountain rushmore as cash calls it ..

lunch stop ..

check out those jeans ..

i am pretty sure that we have patched the knees at least twice .. 

but they still fit and they are his favorite pair ..

they had the best time ..

ever ..

need a cooler ..

it seems that there has been a cooler pile up on my front porch ..

going to have to do something about that ..

tomorrow ..

from up above ..

we sold a boat for one of our most favorite customers .. 

i called him and told him that i needed the title to send to the new owners ..

he said no problem .. i will bring it to you ..

i said .. all the way from tulsa .. 

he said yes .. we will be there in 30 minutes ..

ok i said ..

30 minutes as the helicopter flies .. 

since he was here he took jeff and mike up for a ride around the lake ..

this is duck creek .. 

the dam .. 

our cove .. the white barn on the far right is our barn .. 

our house .. 

mom and dads ..

you can just barely see mom and the kids on the back porch waving like crazy people ..

our spot .. 

thanks perry .. 

for the title ..

for the ride ..

and the great pics .. 

i am in love ..

my little hunk of love is here for a few days ..

if you need me i will be unavailable ..

happy 4th on the 6th !

this is mr. happy as a firecracker !

he did not want me taking any pictures .. none .. not a one .. especially of him ..

ellie on the other hand did not mind .. 

we meet up with jay and his crew .. 

and my mom and dad ..

we ate pizza .. swam .. 

took a nap ..

and twirled sparklers .. 

and then we sat back and watched ..

it was a great night .. 

happy 4th on the 6th everyone .. 

i bet you can't stay on ..

syd is here for the week of july 4th so we took advantage of a quiet tuesday and went out on the lake ..

our goal was to do as much as possible ..

to fall off the tube and crash going over the wake as many times as possible ..

to drink as much of the lake water as possible because our mouths were open from screaming ..

to master the back flip fall off ..

to fly .. 

and to land the front roll off crash .. 

i am happy to say that our goal was accomplished ..
