Elders Quorum Day at the Lake

We had our annual EQ day at the lake on Saturday. We had so much fun! Every year the Burbidge family hosts a boating day for the Elders Quorum. This year we didn't have as many turn out which is a good and a bad thing. Good because it means more time on the boat and in the tubes for us...and bad because we love so many people in our ward and miss them when they're not there. We decided to leave Kamden home with a babysitter and he even got to have his best friend Ethan come over to spend the day with him. The babysitter said that they had a great time and I don't think he missed us one bit. The day was especially monumental for Kole because he actually got on the boat this year! For some reason he has had a fear of falling off the boat and has not ridden on the boat or in a tube until this year. After a lot of convincing he finally got over his fear and even rode on a 3-seater tube with 2 of his friends. He was most excited about having control of the speed by giving a "thumbs up to go faster" and a "thumbs down to go slower." We were very proud of him. Bryan and I both had a great time riding the tubes together and with friends. My friend Heather made both of us laugh so hard when on the 3-seater tube she screamed like I have never heard anyone scream before. She tried to play it off like she was just kidding around but it didn't take us long to figure out she was really terrified of falling off the tube. My tummy hurt from laughing when we were done. Can't wait until next year!
