Imagine waking up every morning to that view. My grandparents moved to their lake house in Virginia full time this past fall. As a family, we are excited to see them and spend time on the water together.
The fishing at Smith Mountain Lake is decent - we generally fish off of the dock at night for Catfish. Most of the time we are enjoying slalom skiing in the morning and tubing in the afternoon.

Tubing is something that all the grandkids enjoy doing. My brother Hayden in this picture goes so far as to ski on a leisurely ride as his girlfriend is there to impress. Then there are more exciting tubing adventures.


I believe the tube says it best, wow. My Pappy has made it his mission to flip the tube when his older grandsons are riding - he has succeeded a few times now. There was even a time when my uncle was riding along with the grandsons. Being the competitive man that my Uncle Lowell is, he decided to hang on no matter what and best his nephews. Well, he bested them, even when the tube was parallel with the water and his head was six inches from receiving a haircut. We laugh to this day as he recalls thinking in that moment that it was a good time to let go and concede victory to Pappy.
