Jim gave us a really bad time because none of us had brought swimming suits or shorts, but we expected all of Alaska to still be snowy - it is still spring in May, right? Who would believe when we left the Kenai Peninsula that we would go from this . . . . to this just a short drive away?
Just an hour or so north of Anchorage lies a lovely valley, nestled with shallow lakes. The J family has a lovely cabin property on Big lake and they assured us that the ice just left two weeks ago . . . and the water wouldn't be THAT cold! Well, because the lake is only about 25 feet deep, it wasn't very cold - in fact, it was a lovely temperature. We had a great time skiing, swimming, jet skiing, tubing, tanning and of course, eating. 
Wahoo!!! I haven't been skiing for five years and I can still get up on the slalom!
"Celebrate, good times, c'mon!"

These Girls Rule! Tiffany slaloms too!
Jim was manning the boat all day for us and his friends, and his children' friends and . . . hey, where did all these people come from??? . . .More and more just kept showing up and he was a gracious host to all.

Somebody started counting how many times the boys had fallen off compared to how many time the girls had . . . and from then on, the competition got fierce!
. . . then a little more . . . Tiffany and Jonathan

What a great couple of days at Big Lake - we loved it!

As I recall, the girls were whipping all on the tubes, so when they were getting worn out, they sent Jay to go topple them.
Tiffany and Brittany whooped all!
