"I just let the boat do the work, that's the trick."

My friend Todd has a boat, and he was looking for people to go to the lake with him a few weeks ago. Jami, Brooke and I obliged him one day after work.

It. Was. Awesome.

We got dragged around behind the boat on tubes, and I may or may not have screamed like a little girl a time or two. -In my defense, Todd did his best to knock Jami and I off our tubes, but I seem to have something like unto a death grip, because I stayed on! Aaaand it might've been a better idea to have just let go, because my entire body hurt over the next few days.

Anyway, here are some of the pictures:

Me and Jami
(We're both laughing/screaming in this picture, I think)

Jami and Todd

The next week, Todd took a few more of us out again.

The second time, I was forced to try wake boarding. I say "forced" because everyone else on board was doing it. And I say "try" because I didn't get up on the board. Tried valiantly, but...whatever.

Don't get me wrong; it was fun! I just need to try wake boarding again, to try and master that whole "getting up" part...

Once again, pictures:

Brandi's a pro and made it look easier than it is.

Jeff can even do flips.

Then Brooke tried...

...which forced me to try.

Oh yeah. Then Jeff got up on the slalom
and totally put my wake boarding efforts to shame.

Yeah.

I like boating.
