Sort of Independent

We decided to spend Independence Day weekend up at the lake. So did thousands of other people. Does that mean we weren't very independent? :)

Uncle Sean (who's a mechanic) did a little work on the boat motor before we headed out onto the water. Don't try this at home, folks--he's a professional.

Once everything was functioning properly, we cruised around the lake, . . .

. . . lounged on some water toys, . . .

. . . and tried out Papa's new floating trampoline.

Sean and Papa discovered that you can jump off the boat onto the trampoline, and it will catapult you into the water (sometimes flipping you in the process). I seriously considered trying it, but someone had to stay on the boat to watch Joy. And let's face it: I'm a water wimp.
