Well it was a cold, and breezy September morning, and this is going to be our last Hooorah for the year. Our regular com padres Jamie, Grant, Katie, and Travie were not able to come, so I begged my other kids (mom & dad) to come. As we make our rounds around town gas - a 30 min ordeal (gas station computers crashed), and Raley's for the good stuff (cocktails, ice, and of course food too!) We head out. Now I'm thinking I'm going to freeze to death wake-boarding, but not to worry I brought John Elway, and my shorty wetsuit. I may look like a nerd, but I will not let this cold weather ruin my last trip. On the way up dad is talking about all the dreams he had the night before and one of them was that I dragged them all the way up there and I didn't want to get in the water because it was cold. Like it or not I was getting in the water even if it started snowing! Well we finally arrive, get in the boat and we are literally sweating. It's hot! Fabulous! No John Elway for me! We launch and I look down at the fuel gauge, and OMG,it's completely full! The last thing I heard Jerry tell my dad was just put in a half tank so we won't have any sit in the boat all year. My dad was my hero! We will have to go again. We take off and the water is awful. We get beat up a little then off to the houseboats. We visit with the gang Happy Ours, Fairplay, and Dave & Naomi's . We have some good laughs. It's late afternoon and the water is placid so off we go. Jerry wipes out harder than I've seen him in a long time, and knocks a little air out of him, dad can't even get up on the board, and poor Jay's wipe out was the worst. I actually fared well, no problems. So back to the houseboat for more eats, and drinks. Eventually we decide it's time to go. The water is still awesome so I'm going to board till I can't take it no more. Then out of the blue, mom wants to try and board, awesome! I think it took about 4 times and she did it, and I think she crashed out of pure excitement.
So as we drove out of sight we'll see you again Don Pedro we still have 3/4 of a tank. Hee Hee :)
