Fun at the Lake

Lovely and fun friends invited us to go play on the water Friday afternoon. I agreed but secretly was dreading the exposure in the required dress code. A swimsuit! (Scream in horror!)

I bucked up, put on some board shorts, Phil assured me I looked fine and off we went.

It was. so. FUN!

Phil & I met water skiing and have only gone once since we were married, about 5 years ago. We have not graced the waters since and I was a bit nervous to try something new. But thanks to peer pressure and assurances from our friends I tried wake boarding and got up on the first try! And then I got down just as quickly. With patient coaching from the well seasoned crew in the boat I got better and managed to hold my own.

We even tried surfing which took me a few tries but once I switched life jackets for the smaller one, as the present one was smothering me in it's life saving attempts, I popped right up. Again, so FUN!

No pictures of me since my dearest didn't have the foresight, in all actuality it probably never occurred to him. So you will have to settle for Phil and use your wild imagination envisioning my newly acquired skills. All I have to show for it is a crazy sore (in a good way) left booty and a few bruises, all mending nicely now, thanks for asking.

Phil surfing and loving it.

Trying to ride the wave with our friend looking on (who, by the way, has mad skills!) Put us all to shame.

Thanks Amber and Nate for taking us out!
