A Mother's Worry

To continue posting pictures from our vacation, here are some from the lake. Andrew and Ethan got to go "tubing" with Daddy. This was Ethan's first time and Andrew's second. Andrew went with me two years ago on GrandBobby's boat but this time was VERY different. GrandBobby was driving the boat with Jason on the innertube with the boys. This concerned me because of the thoughts flooding my brain about them hitting a big wave, Jason flying off one way, and Ethan flying the other direction. It's worrisome because the boys CANNOT SWIM! With faith or should we call it stupidity, the boys strapped on life vests and rode pretty fast in the tube. And yes, Jason did get bumped off twice! Andrew was the brave sole, white knuckling it until we pulled around and got Jason but when Jason fell of while riding with Ethan, Ethan 'lost it.' You could hear him yelling and crying over the roar of the engine. He thought that Jason decided to jump in the lake and leave him on purpose not knowing that he got bumped off. It was a sight to be seen. He cried and cried for a long time until Andrew tubed by himself and then he decided to try it again with Daddy. You could just see this little boy growing up in front of your eyes right there. He overcame his fears and rode again. Great Memories!
