To beat the crazy crowds at Lake Mead this weekend (most people are celebrating the 4th early), we set our alarm clock for 4 am and actually staggered out of bed without hitting snooze! Dane and Mike ate breakfast #1 at around 4:30 (see clock in the background).
We headed out to the lake and were on the water before 5 am. The sky was just starting to lighten up. We joined Bryan Johnston and friends on their boat. The water was so calm and there was only one other boat in the vicinity.
Mike's first morning run...
and mine.The sun finally came out by the time we made our second runs.
My crazy hubby!
Our little driver. Notice how he has one hand on the wheel and one on the throttle. He's been watching!!
Our actual driver (who isn't too shabby on the wakeboard when he's not driving!).
We were off the water by 8:00 am and headed into Boulder City for breakfast #2 at the Coffee Cup Cafe. Good stuff! We then proceeded home for a nice morning nap! I must say that Dane was a real trooper with this early morning thing. He woke up cheerfully and was really excited to get on the boat. He did get a bit cranky later in the morning, but was easily distracted by "driving" and playing with the rope. Now we're just enjoying a relaxing day around the house and trying to keep cool.

Off the water by 8 your smart! No sun burns for you folks!! Looks like you all enjoyed yourself. I want a ride with Dane, that would be a fab. ride!! What great memories your building!
Aw, he's so cute! It was great seeing you guys last weekend! You've got a great little life going :-)
You make it sound so appealing-we may have to try this early morning thing. We are crispy from the afternoon sun last Saturday....
Loooookie at that water!! Looks smooth as butter. Bummer Mollie and I missed out, next time!
Dude. I was hoping that you'd get a really decent picture out of those runs. Did any of the sequence shots come out?
Decent! These pics are amazing!! You guys blow my mind. I tried wakeboarding for the second time last weekend, yah... I need some instruction. Fun though. :)
