My niece Tara is visiting this weekend with her daughter and son. We’re having a good time playing games and whatnot, but I felt like I needed to take the young-un’s out on the lake. They’d never been on jet skis before, which seems a shame. The weather was overcast and a bit chilly, but that’s what wetsuits are for, right?
We headed over to Bird Island and Emi took a turn driving (with Kyra on the back). The water was so smooth it looked like glass.

Ethan was a little nervous about driving (he’s 14), so he just rode behind me. I guess it was pretty fun.

We hiked around the island a bit, took an obligatory selfie, and then explored a few other nearby islands.

Good times all around. Even when we sucked a rock into Pepper’s jet ski engine…
