First time on the lake this summer!
We went to the lake Saturday and it was a lot of fun. Being the first time out, I was shocked the seado’s didn’t break nor did Steve’s boat. I was contemplating wakeboarding… but it was the first time out and I don’t think my body wasn’t yet used to that much intense activity. So I toned it down and just rode the tube for a bit and rode the seado and boat. Went with Josh, Lauren, Keith, Steve, Miggie and their kids. We had delicious lunch as always, Steve and Miggie brought a ton of good food like carne asada, tostadas, sandwiches, salsas, yum!
I posted some photos here
I can’t wait until next time!
7 days!
i can’t believe i’m going to london in 7 days! we’re allowed to bring laptops and ipods on international flights to the UK now so at least our trip will be easier. though we aren’t allowed to have gum, toothpaste, hand lotion, lip balm, eye drops, etc. i still have to buy some ginger pills for the plane motion sickness. i got antibiotics today from my doctor so i can hopefully finally kick this sinus infection before i go.
check the photo gallery for more pics from jetskiing a few weeks ago.. i’ll get the rest of the pics from JDH probably after my trip.

Jetskiing!
We went jetskiing yesterday with Charlie, Jonathan and Tarrah. It was so much fun. We tailgated for the first 2 hours or so because the big 3 seater jetski had battery/spark plug issues. But after that we went out and Jonathan started wake skating in the very choppy water and somehow managed to stay up for longer than I could imagine staying up for. Charlie got up first try on the wake skate too. Typical Charlie. Then we took Tarrah out tubing and she did a triple barrel roll dismount, it looked intentional! Then I went out tubing and during my 180 degree turn around the jetski i couldn’t hold on any longer and decided to let go and I myself did a spin of sorts while falling off.. must be the centrifical force. My head and neck still are sore today from that one.
I taught Tarrah how to ride the jetski and she did fine. It’s really easy as long as you don’t have to dock the thing ugh. Then Josh and I went to try the wake skate. Josh couldn’t get up at all, though he gets up on the wakeboard and skis no problem. I tried and I got up the first time then didn’t know how to balance my weight and wobbled down. After 4 or 5 tries I realized I wasn’t putting weight on my front foot on the board.. Once I did that i stayed up crouched down skiing for something like 10 seconds and then lost balance and my ankle slapped the water really hard so I took a break.
I wanna go again next weekend!
