So we just got back from spending several days at Lake Oroville. I was doing well not to sunburn to bad until the very last day. Which I feel is a big defeat seeing that I am not only responsible for lathering up myself with sunscreen but three other little bodies.
We went with my sister and her family along with a couple other families. We basically hung out on the lake all day. It was fun and somewhat relaxing with all the kids. Definantly some good memories.
I'm not much of a skier but I did go on this taco type tube with my sister Jenny and my friend Tammy. The video has not been released for public viewing yet but the whole thing was caught on tape.
Sandwiched in the middle, I white nuckled the handles on the raft. Thing were going okay until Tammy's husband, Mark, decided to drive his boat around ours and make huge wave. So as we are being whipped around the wake we encounter these waves and are tossed off the raft. Actually I'm not sure how but Jenny managed to stay on.
So we swim to the raft and gracefully climb on the raft, NOT! Which again is being filmed. Tammy and I decided we will put the song "I like big butts and I can not lie!" As one of the soundtracks for our video.
We three decide we want to go on the raft some more. We obviously drank way beyond our Diet Pepsi limit and are not making wise decisions.
So we start off and forgetting we are at the end of a rope connected to his boat, Paul (Jenny's Husband), decides he wants to catch up with Mark and go around his boat to make some "payback" waves. So we go flying around his boat and Paul realizes that we are going way too fast and slows down. We are going up and down on some big waves and end up head to head with Mark's boat. But instead of aborting the little raft we three decided to use the raft to protect us from the boat. We succeeded in pushing ourselves away from the boat and tipping over into the water.
I don't think I have laughed so hard in a very long time. I think I need to laugh like that at least once a week. It was the best therapy. The conversation between the three of us on the raft was equally entertaining but must be kept private. "What is said on the raft stays on the raft." Something about coin slots and butt snaps. Like I said "Way too much diet Pepsi".

Tammy, I thought you were probably anonymous. I'm glad it made you laugh. I can't wait to see the video. Well kind of, I don't know if I want to see me but I will bear seeing myself in my suit because I know it will be hilariASS. Especially because there are four of them (Asses) Did I spell that right?
Rachel, I hadn't heard from you and thought that you went away from our lunch date thinking I was scary. I know life is crazy busy but I would love to get back together. My Leah asked me today if I was calling "Leah's Mom".
