Memorial Day Weekend 2012

We went to the River House this weekend with my parents and sister and her family, and were also joined by one of our Swiss relatives, Nadia and her friend Nini from China!  The weather was windy, but warm. Ryan and Jason braved the cold water for a little skiing and knee boarding and Caitlin twice wanted to try water skiing but didn't make it further than putting the skis on her feet. She was a scared about the water being deep and being all alone out in the water. 

Checking out the view

Lester the Turtle -- Grandpa found him on the levee road and brought him back for the kids to see

Lester!

The girls got right in there to feel the turtle

He was quick!
