For our first trip out with visitors, we headed out with AuniteLala, UncleD, CousinR and CousinC! It was a fantastic afternoon of fun on the water. We spent the first two and a half hours on the tube learning that our niece CousinR is VELCO! I mean that girl does not come off of a tube when it is fly across the water like skipping stone, is airborne or anything else. It was amazing. I am seriously thinking of renaming her Velcro, lol.
We watched AuntieLala and BrownieJ enjoy a nice, fairly fast ride on the water. It was so hilarious to watch the facial expressions on my sister's face that I really needed to take a break from laughing and smiling as I my cheeks hurt too much. It is amazing how the mix of fear, adrenaline and fun can make for a good time while entertaining those watching you to no end.
Needless to say, UnlceD, the same man who sent us on his homemade clothes line, aka zipline over the creek only the week before enjoyed a very rambunctious ride on the tube. The most entertaining part was as he climbed up the extended dive platform and needed to rest as his legs were to wobbly after being through the blender like experience. I am not certain that we will be able to get him back on the tube at the speed again but they say that time dulls the memories!
ScoutJ and CousinC had many a good laugh together on the tube. They certainly did well hanging on through all that DaddyJ could dish out. My favourite part of the day included my ride on the tube with CousinC. We were chatting about things and then ....the boat sped up an UncleD started cackling with DaddyJ! That was the point that I looked over at CousinC and said "you know there is not other time that I would ever allow you, your sister or your cousins to be dragged behind a motorized object, let alone at 15+km/hr! Also, just in case we die, I love you, you are a great nephew!" Once we survived that section and had relaxed a bit we were back to chatting when it started to speed up again and CousinC asked me "AuntieJ, do you have any last words?" LOL you know you are having a great time with your family when you are laughing so hard you can hardly hang onto the tube anymore.
We headed in to have a late lunch on shore while UncleD and DaddyJ checked out the beach at Sunbreaker Cove and had a floating lunch. They negotiated getting the bimini top up on the boat and collected the shore people for a nice shaded cruise. We spent the last of our time on the water touring the lake, getting some last tube rides in and packed her up before the rain set in. Fabulously, UncleD and the boys took the boat back to storage while the girls vehicle headed into town! Thanks for all of your great help UncleD and your cheering on AunieLala as I attempted to back the trailer into the water.
To cap off our fabulously fun day we enjoyed a PAINFULLY slow trip to the ice cream store in Sylvan before joining up in Calgary for dinner at Wendy's. Major bonus, I got to ride back with my sister where we chatted non-stop for the entire hour and a half! The boys in the backseat also chatted non-stop for the entire ride. Kind of a wonder we did not run out of oxygen....
I must say as our first passengers, they were spectacularly fun. Thanks for an amazing day GFamily, we can not wait to do it again next year. Y'all come back now, y'a hear!
