They all jumped off! Memorial Day

This year for Memorial Day we went to Lake LBJ outside of Austin with our friends the Allens and Birds. We rented a lake house on the water, it was great.

Baby Ben had fun! What a cutie!

On the waterway out to the lake, there was a really high railroad bridge that we kept going under. By day 3, Matthew and Palmer and the Allen's kids Drew and Addie had decided they were brave enough to jump like all the adults. Boy it looked high once they got up there.

We were shocked when they all still jumped!! Unfortunately the camera had shut off on the first jump. Luckily Palmer wanted to do it again. We'll have to pull a photo from the video of the first jump to prove Matthew did it to!

Splash down in the water after the first jump.

There go the Allens.

Devin had to show us all up with a few tricks.

He's still got a little something on that waterski.

We loved playing games on the lawn.

Your boys have long hair! It looks cute on them. Also Ben and Will could be twins. Can't wait to see him in person!!

Looks like a fun place. What brave kids to jump! We are not going to Utah this summer...we are going to Ohio. Are you heading out soon? I can't believe how big Ben is.
