Memorial Day Jet Skiing

One of the coolest things about living in Florida is the endless amounts of water to explore! This past memorial Day we took the girls out on the jet ski on the St. John's River. The jet ski is extra long so it's big enough for all four of us to ride comfortably. But even so, we like to squeeze together tightly so we don't lose anyone along the way :) We started out by dropping the jet ski in up by Lake Monroe and then headed toward Highbanks Marina for lunch (cold shrimp and crab cakes for me.. yum!). Then we traveled a bit further to Blue Springs. I got in the icy cold water with the girls. And when I say icy cold I really mean SUPER icy cold water! I felt like a member of the polar bear club. The we headed back home and managed to get home just in time for the rain. God blessed us with a beautiful day and more fun memories. I snapped this picture at then end of our day:

Taking this picture brought back memories of when the company first got the jet ski. I remember taking a similar picture with my much smaller children. I had to dig it up to show just how quickly time passes. Aren't they cute!?
