Lake Pleasant

Lindsay and Keith invited us to go to Lake Pleasant with them for the day on their wake-board boat (aka Keith’s mistress). Martin and Kendal came too. Elliot had to work. We had so much fun and I still feel like I’m on a boat. Usually I get over the waves a little faster than I am this time.

We all jumped in the water for a while (including Stella) and then Martin got to try the wake board first. He got up on his first try and only wrecked a couple of times. He looks like a pro in the pictures. Kendal went next and also got up (not on the first try, but still got up) and she held completely still the entire time.

Martin learned how to drive the boat during the last part of Kendal’s try so that Keith could wake board next. What a show off . . . JK. He is really good and also entertaining because he actually jumps the wake. Now if I was his mother I’d give him a little talk because he just had knee surgery a while ago. I know for sure that my Mom wouldn’t be able to keep quiet about it.

Lindsay went next and didn’t make it up the first few times, but got up on one of her tries for the first time ever. I got a GREAT picture of her own surprised face after she got up and she was so shocked that she wrecked. I tried next and, of course, didn’t even get close to getting up.

I got a little sunburned and we’re both tired, but we sure had a lot of fun and now Stella can’t stop saying “Martin.” I think that’ll make him happy.

My camera battery died, so Lindsay had all of the good pictures.

You did too get kinda close to getting up. I think after a few more tries you'd have it.

I don't know how 1 second of trying turns into "kinda close" to getting up. The second Keith revved the boat, my face hit the water!
