Lake



This weekend was so awesome! My family and I went to a lake for the weekend with my cousin J, my Uncle R, and Natalia. We brought our boat and Roxy, even though we didn't want to leave her on shore when everyone was on the boat. She was actually very good when on shore alone though. Roxy was very content with chasing sticks, balls, and birds. She even tried to chase the 8 deer we saw! ;~D We saw 2 does and 2 fawns on Saturday, and 3 does and 1 fawn on Sunday. They were so cute! My mom took some pictures, but I don't know how good they're going to turn out.
The best part was the wakeboarding, waterskiing, and innertubing. I am a lot better at waterskiing than wakeboarding, so I stayed up on skis about 20 minutes longer. When I jumped, the backs of my skis were about a computer's height out of the water! It was the first time I've ever tried to jump.
I tried wakeboarding for only the second time, and I stayed up for about 5 minutes. The water was extremely choppy though, unlike when I was waterskiing.
We hooked up 2 tubes, so we wouldn't have to take turns. We called the rides "Bumper Tubes" because we always hit each other as if we were in bumper cars. Davis and J were on the one that's easier to stay on, and Britni and I were on the flat tube, which was harder to stay on. We asked to hit the wakes made by other boats, and when we did, I had to hold on to Britni so she wouldn't fall off. I saved her about 15 times. The lake was so awesome! I hope I can go again.

That sounds like so much fun!! I can't believe you saw 8 deer! The waterskiing, "bumpertubing" =D, and wakeboarding sounds awesome. I'm glad you had fun.

P.S. I tried accepting your invitation but it doesn't show me as a member right now.
