We have not been kneeboarding at the Owyhee Dam for a couple of years. Kefford has pretty light days typically on Mondays and so we decided to take advantage of that and head out to the Dam. Trevor was in charge of getting the boat out there for us and we were meeting him and Keffords Uncle Brad out there with his family. When we got there we discovered that Trevor brought the old boat and it only had the tube in it. No kneeboards, no water skis. Oh well, we made do and had a fun day. I went on the tube first with Avynlea and Rylee. I literally had to pull Rylee off the boat and onto the tube because she was trying to chicken out. Wouldn't you know that that was the last time she had to be talked into going on the tube. She loved it and never wanted to come off of it. I am so amazed with how comfortable in the water she has become this summer. At one point we were docked at the beach waiting for something and I turn to see Rylee in her life jacket doggie paddling by herself out into the middle of the Dam. Seriously! I love it and I love seeing all of the kids enjoy the water.
Kefford went on the tube with Kenedy and her friend Emilee Brugger. They wanted the driver to go slow and so Kefford was not thrilled with that ride.
Finally Kefford got to go by himself and the driver, Brad, could go as fast as he wanted. I was not on the boat at this time but I enjoyed hearing all about the daredevil tricks Kefford liked to perform.
He finally got flipped off and even loved that!
Of course Rylee managed to talk herself back onto the tube with Brad and Liam.
Definitely a fun day out on the Dam!
