Let's Go Tubing Now, Everybody's Learning How!
Before we went to San Diego, we headed to Clear Lake to camp."Clear" is something that may have been a good adjective 60 years ago, but not today.

No, that's not nuclear sludge, it's algae, and lots of it.
To be fair, the water is warm, but looks and smells bad!
Moving on...in order to get away from the near-shore goop, we headed out on my BIL's boat for some tubing.
K's first time.

She loved it and squealed with happiness the whole time!

With the boat speed cranked, the big kids had their turn!

Hubby barely trusted me with the camera in the boat.
He swore it would be at the bottom of the lake, but I took good care of it.
Later, when I got a chance to get in the tube with K, of course no one had a camera to catch the evidence.
Use your imagination, it looked kinda like this...with much more screaming!

Looks like a lot of fun! Having a boat is one of my dreams for the future. I like tubing but I love water skiing and would love to teach my kids to water ski.

It certainly looks like everyone had fun. Love the photo of you ;) I think my kids will enjoy something like this when they are older.

The scenery is amazing!! And the look on the kids faces is total enjoyment.
I haven't been tubing in years, but my 9 year old goes with her dad and loves it.
I love how you photoshopped your face in! Classic!
