First weekend of summer!

[Janet]

Thanks for the pictures, looks like you all were having a great time. I love it when everyone posts pictures.


Lindsey....you're next girl....you take plenty of pictures to share with us!!

lol I will upload some pictures later, I took a lot! I jumped out of the boat to swim and they wouldn't let me back in until I tried wakeboarding! They actually were pushing my hands off the side of the boat. So I made my first attempt at wakeboarding today and I failed miserably! I couldn't get myself up out of the water but at least I tried. My whole body aches so bad right now though so I don't think tomorrow will be a busy day at all!

Okay, I am getting too old for this crap lol I went on a few rides with my 14 year old soon to be sister in law...
That was us going by in the bottom right.

The guy who ran that ride TORTURED us. He had left people off and on in the mean time... we went forwards, and backwards. Spinning and spinning. When he opened our cage, he said "Have you had enough" all creepy. Yikes.
Why the hell am I smiling? (that would be Mr. Creepo in the background)

I like this picture of us too. We didn't feel very well after eating this weirdly seasoned chicken earlier, I just had a bigger set than he did. He didn't come on any rides tonight BOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Didn't stop me from asking though hehehee

(I swear the "matchy matchy" outfits weren't planned.)

[Lindsey]

Oh my gosh I hate all those rides in your pictures! hehe I'm sort of a big chicken when it comes to rides though I think I'm getting too old too!

[Lindsey]

Okay so here are some pictures...
1. Kyle getting some air time. He's pretty good but he's been wakeboarding for a long time!
2. Kyle messed up his hair and posed with his best boy band look
3. I was thirsty in the water, so Kyle thought he should just pour it into my mouth.
4. Me and the wakeboard... we ended up not getting along so well
I wish I would have got some more pictures of our friend who is pretty amazing at wakeboarding, but it turns out I took mostly video of him and I'm far too lazy to upload videos tonight!

Pope.......I was never big ride person, but it looks like you had a great time. Really love the pictures..you and your fiance look nice together.

Lindsey..I do (or did) know how to waterski and it looks very similiar. When we would try to teach someone to ski, they couldn't get up either. They thought the boat pulled them up...it doesn't. Once you start on top of the water....just stand up.

That one thing that looked like a steel caged death trap (they kept callig it "the zipper", my SIL went on like 6 more times after we took off

lol water skiing is something I never had the chance to experience yet, great tip Janet
& ty for the compliment. We've always been like an old married couple, not like most people our ages. Except for the fact that we are a tad bit nuts

I am off to go schwimmin and down a few brews this afternoon

Here are a few Irish toasts I recently learned (I'll leave out the more explicit ones lol):
"Here's to a long life and a merry one,
A quick death and an easy one,
A pretty girl and a true one,
A cold bottle and another one."


"Here's to you and here's to me,
Friends may we always be!
But, if by chance we disagree,
Up yours! Here's to me!"

What they told me to do was lean back and keep the edge of the board out of the water, until there was enough speed for me to stand up. Easier said than done! The board is huge so there's a lot of resistance against the water. I started out with my arms by my sides and would end up with my hands rubbing against the board at my feet. My arms aren't strong enough to pull against that much weight! I just got up and my whole body is aching today! Oh well, I'm sure I will try it again sometime. Kyle told me it's just like snowboarding, but on water. Well, right now I'd rather be snowboarding At least there you just have to stand up and you're flying down a hill!
