A super, fun day!

We went out playing on the water yesterday. This kids had so much fun. I don't think we have been on the water in over 5 years. They were all so excited but a little cautious at first. Once we got out on the lake and stopped to fill up the tub, the kids all decided to jump in.

Kate and Henry were still very upset at being caged in their life jackets.

Zach and Justyn were the first to ride the tube. They didn't last as long as I thought they would.

Shaelynne rode with her friend Logan.



Alexys rode with our friend Stacy.

And that was all that they did. They were happy to spend the rest of the day just playing in the boat and being with their friends.

Our friend Stacy asked if I wanted a turn. I overheard Justyn say, "My mom doesn't do those kinds of things. She's too afraid." HA! He doesn't know me very well. I'm up for a challenge. I rode the tube with Stacy and that was fun. A little too much jarring on my not-so-young body though. I did try surfing. That was very fun. Troy, Stacy's husband, called it a woosy sport. I'm okay with woosy.

I also tried the wake board (pictures are on my friends camera). After a couple of tries I figured out how to get up but I wasn't very good at staying up for more than about 5 seconds. It was fun to try though.

When Ken and I dated(the whole 2 months that we dated), we spent alot of time out on the water. Ken loved to waterski. Back then I was more worried about being embarrassed and always looking cute then actually learning to ski. Now that I'm a couple years older, I don't actually care how cute I look and I'm way past being embarrassed so it's more fun to actually try different things. Now I'm just really out of shape. My body gave out long before my determination did yesterday. Today I'm feeling it though. I didn't want to move at all last night when I crawled into bed. If I stop moving, I start hurting so I think it's time to be done on this post.

The best part of the whole day was just being out with my kids. It was a great tension breaker for us. Being on the water was relaxing and the company was fantastic. So, thanks Stacy and Troy and Amanda and Andy for letting letting us crash your party. Quoting Alexys's words, "We had the BEST day ever!"
