Bare Bottom

Our friends, Brandon & Laney have a boat and on Sunday we went out for an afternoon of fun on the lake! The weather was just perfect-nice a hot and a little breezy. We went tubing and attempted water boarding (key word ATTEMPTED!)

Sawyer had a blast jumping in the water and he especially loved when Bill & I took him for a little ride on the tube! The three of us laid down on the tube and got pulled around pretty slowly but it was a blast none-the-less! At first he was scared to death but then really got into it and even did some 'ticks'. Sawyer's tricks were letting go of the tube's handles for about two seconds and then waving at the video camera with one hand :)

Highlight of the day: Ashton (far left) and I decided to take a spin on the tube together and the boys were bound and determined to get us knocked off! We had a VERY turbulent ride and I'm pretty proud to say that we made it a good four or five minutes of violent tubing. I had it in my mind that nothing was going to get me to let go of that tube even if a shark latched onto my ankle.....until I felt the bottom of my swim suit fly off!!!!! I left my skirt and my tankini bottom far behind as I went zooming off! When I realized that my bare bootie was flapping around for the world to see I regretfully let go of the handle......we recovered my tankini bottom but my skirt is somewhere on the floor of Lake Manawa.

It was such a GREAT afternoon to just hang out with friends and have some fun! Thanks so much Brandon & Laney for taking us all out on the boat-it was a blast!*
