First Lake Trip

So the weather was finally good enough to go to the lake this weekend. Ben and I had been looking forward to it all week. Friday night we go to Walmart and get a tube and a rope, make sure all the life jackets are sprayed off and dry, and get everything ready to go. Saturday we get up and get snacks and water and head off to the lake, which is only 10 miles from our house! We get there and the boat won't start. The battery was totally dead. So we go to the marina where the guys give us something to charge the battery. Then all of a sudden it starts thundering and lightening. So we sit in the car and wait while the battery on the boat is charging. Finally the storm passes and we back the trailer up to put the boat in and it starts. Yay! Because of all the rain we have got this year, the lake is flooded and you all but have to drive your car into the water in order to get the boat off. But we did it and thought all our problems were over with. Well the boys wanted to tube so we blow up the tube and they get on it and we start to go and it rips at the seems ( I guess that's what we get for buying it at Walmart). So we go back to the marina and call our friends that are on their way to have them stop at a boat place and get a quality tube. Just as we are pulling up it starts pouring rain. We dock the boat and hang out at the marina for a little bit and our friends get there with the tube. Yay! The sun came out and the rest of the day was very enjoyable. We had fun tubing and wakeboarding and swimming. Ben got up wakeboarding 3 times. I was so proud of him. I somehow got burnt really bad on my arms and a little on my legs. I 'm not sure how only that part got burnt when I kept applying sunscreen. I don't know if it is because I am pregnant or not, but this hurts more than any other burn I have ever got and I have burnt way worse.



These pictures don't even do it justice. Hopefully it heals soon! I think we are going to try out luck this next weekend and hopefully it is much better!
