Houseboat trip - day #2

I was so excited to wake up on day #2 I almost couldn't sleep! (well... almost ;) I set my alarm for 7:00am in hopes we would find the most perfect skiing water.... and we were not disappointed! I think Sean was a little surprised, but quickly understood why we would get going so early. Sean also loved it b/c driving on glass-like water is a novelty & fun to do too!   

Maggie was up first...

and she did great! Just like riding a bike, right Mags? ;) This was the first time she'd been up on skis since high school!

And then Dawn... wish I would've taken one with her eyes open :)

Then Lacy... oh yes, and our fear-less driver Ryan! And thanks to Lacy we had skis to ski with! She raided her parents boat before we left w/skis, ski ropes & life jackets - thank you Lacy! :D

And then me!

Always love the face expressions when you're 'concentrating' - NOT!

I remember thinking I lost my contact ... luckily, I did not!

Back at the boat... a new game was being invented... 'sitting bags' :) very creative title, don't you think?

And the floating began!!

Captains were born ;)

And arm-wrestling matches happened... of course they did, right?!?

What would a houseboat trip be w/o one ;)  It's like the brother Chris never had :D

They were actually evenly matched...

and no one ever actually 'won' - they just decided they needed a 'professional' wrestling table where their elbows are held down next time.

We will get right on that! ;)

They switched hands ... you know, just to 'make sure' they were really even.

Good tunes... this is "Cowboys like Us" - a fav George Strait song of Baragary's... and Chris.

Can you hear the song? ;)

And then the boy 'gathering' pictures started.... not sure why the girls didn't get in on this! ;)

Then as usual, I want to keep all of these for the precious face expressions.

This is one of my favorites.

This one too...

OK... enough with the boy pictures ;)

Happy 10-years to us! :D

We had such a great crew! :D  Sad we only got one pic of all of us the next day... should have busted out the timer button on the camera!

And so Maggie attempted to take a 'conversation' series of pictures b/t Baragary & I...

only he caught on and then 'pretended' the whole time :)

Like my glasses?  :( Had to wear them b/c I developed an eye infection just a couple days before we left!

Love this pic of Dawn & Ryan :)

And for dinner this night we had steak sandwiches, pineapple & garlic shrimp!! It was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!

Delicious...and so worth the wait! :D
