First Trip to the Lake

This past Saturday a bunch of friends from Joe's pharmacy program went out to Lake Pleasant which is only about 30min from where we live. Jared has a realllly nice boat and was nice enough to let 3 couples with kids party on the boat! I was so nervous for some reason (first time mom on a boat with her 2month old) I felt like puking. I hope someone out there has been there, cause I feel like a big time over-reacter now. Pictured above is the nervous parents, and the peaceful sleeping baby.

Everything got a lot better when Rocky woke up and Joe or I were able to hold him tight.

I even loosened up enough to try some wake boarding. Rocky's first time on the lake, and my first time wake boarding! It was so fun I couldn't stop laughing the whole time I was up on the water, I felt like a little kid. Of course the laughter stops whenever you hit the water. I am a complete amateur, the first time I hit the water it was a nice belly smack, the second time it felt like an enema, and the third time knocked the wind out of me. Third times a charm, I was done after that. Jared, (the boat owner) was next out in the water, and I have never seen someone do tricks like he did. He was doing flips and jumps, I think he could probably compete in the X Games.

Joe was first in the water. The other dads decided to take advantage of the fact that Joe never misses a chance to get in a lake, despite how freezing cold it is, so the kids all took turns taking a swim with him. That is little Cameron Nuckles with Joe Joe. Yes, it is AZ, and although the pictures look nice and warm it was freezing cold water and really breezy out there. All in all a really fun day at the lake!
