After an hour waiting for the rain to stop while huddled in the boat marina, we finally took our rented 20' pontoon boat out on Lake Conroe. It turned out to be a gorgeous day with blue skies and lots of sunshine (and sunscreen). The kids LOVED the boat and being out on the water. We fished a little, but didn't catch anything so the kids got bored and decided to swim instead. Brandon had a blast jumping off the side of the boat into the water. The water was warm and surprisingly clean - especially compared to the Gulf of Mexico where we usually swim on vacation. There were plenty of boats out on the water, but it wasn't crowded either. I think the rain in the morning kept a lot of people away.
The kids watched other people waterskiiing, jet skiing, and riding on tubes dragged behind ski boats. Brandon really wants to rent a ski boat next time, so he can ride on a tube.
We had planned on going to Galveston like we do almost every summer, but thought this would be something new and fun to do. I am really glad the kids had such a great time. We will definitely do it again soon!
