We had to show our excitement by singing loud and annoyingly. plus make messes of ourselves.:)
This is sam...after we shoved Donut into his mouth while he was talking, and we didn't want to hear it haha!
Our pretty Graduation Toes could barely contain their joy either.
We are loaded and ready to unload! {check out the reflection, there are 2 sams or mams}
The freezing water...plus a crazy drive=fun time on tube!!!
Still waiting for the engines to rev!
and waiting....
These would be the crazy drivers. Thanks mike and brooke. I loved that freezing cold water.
WE SURVIVED. Even falling off. having your whole body numb. and whip lash.
This is the darling castle that many of the friends built while....................Alexa, Sam, McKay, and I were basically stranded in the middle of the lake. For an a hour and a half. brrrr. There was no one around. Goosebumps. Blue lips. and hoping for no one to pee to warm up the water. Even though it was suggested!
The four of us took out the jet ski and tube. Lex and I pulled the boys out first. Knocked McKay off and gave Sam a broken toe. {what babies. don't worry i still love you guys}
Then... We switched. The boys got onto the jet ski and we got onto the tube. I was a little nervous because McKay was driving and since we had knocked him off i knew some kind of brutal payment would be headed our way.
After our long ride of screams and bumps we finally made those boys stop and let us all onto the jet ski. Haha yeah right should have thought that one through huh?
No wonder they are called 3 seaters. That must be for a reason.
As we climbed onto that jet ski no matter who was the forth one...it would tip. 3 times it went completely over. and the other 6 times it just tipped us all off. oh and remember how i said that it was freezing cold water. yeah my body was totally numb. I was so cold that i couldn't even pull myself up by the end.
so.... the four of us swam over to the tube. 4 people in a 2 person tube. hahah. and we kept warm with body heat. As we tried to get our mind off of how cold we were we told stories. The kind when you go around the circle and everyone says one word.
{it ended up being a story about a family who ate all these nasty animals on a tube because they were yellow.} Then the sun came out, finally some hope in those dreadful minutes.
All the while we were praying someone would come looking for us or something and save us.
Finally we heard a faint jet ski...we yelled and waved trying to flag them down. They saw us. It was Kiana and her cousin. We asked her to head back and to go get my dad. a little while after low and belold here comes my father jet skiing along to save the day. and my mother shortly after. hahaha
He hooked up our broken jet ski with the tube behing it to his jet ski and started to drag us to safety. we were so cold and wet agian. also alexa's leg got rapped arounnd the rope and as my and McKays Heads were plunged under her leg was starting to be dragged by the rope. I don't know how but we were saved out of that one too. haha
We finally made it back to shore freezing and tired. exsausted. beyond words. Land Ho!
We had been out in the water a total of.... an hour and a half. freezing water.
about 40 or 50 degree water. brrrr.
It took a while to feel my toes. and now i have a cold because of it. and i'm a bit sunburnt. but man oh man i wouldn't trade that bonding moment for anything now. It will forever be may favorite lake memory!!!! hahaha What a day.
And now i am heading off to bed. Early i know for a high school senior. But i do have grad night tomorrow night. so i better get all the rest i need.
