Summer Fun

As much as I would love to post the picture along with this post I will spare my son embarrassment for now.

A couple of weeks ago our friends the Proctors invited us to go boating. I was so excited I have missed boating. Growing up my dad always had a boat and we live for the summers going to the lake skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing. Two years ago my Dad's boat killed over and so we have not been able to go.

We packed up the kids and headed down to Provo marina to meet up with the Proctors. We all loaded up the boat for a day of fun. The kids were so excited and couldn't wait to get out in the water. The Porctors had a wake rider, it is like a surfboard but you ride the wake created by the boat. McKay decided he wanted to try it so Brett was out with all of the kids letting the ride with him. McKay wanted to do it on his own. The boat started going and as McKay tried to get up he was pulled forward. We all started yelling at him to let go of the rope. He had a sure look of panic in his face and we thought maybe because he was alone in the lake. We all kept yelling for him to let go of the rope and we were coming for him. He finally let go of the rope and as we came closer we found out the sheer look of panic wasn't because he was alone in the lake, it was because the water pulled his pants right off of him and he was buck naked all but his life jacket! He did manage to grab a hold of his shorts but couldn't get them back on in the water. We do have the butt shot of him standing on the ski deck putting his shorts back on. We will definitely hold onto it for blackmail in the future though. We all had a good time up until the rope got caught on the propeller and we had to be towed back into the dock. Thanks Brett and Selena for the fun day!
