Wednesday, August 15: Today is our last day to have the boat, so despite the fact that it’s gray and quite cold, we brace ourselves to enjoy our final hurrah of wakeboarding and tubing. I don’t wakeboard, but I do get out on the tube for a bit of excitement. The boys have a great time doing stunts on the wakeboard, especially Adam who likes to take flying leaps and dance in figure eights on the water.
After my turn at tubing, I have the boys drop me at the dock, where I head immediately to the hot tub to warm up. The rest of the afternoon, I spend reading, relaxing, going through my pictures, posting a blog, and watching the end of Kate and Leopold. All right, you can see I’m on a Meg Ryan kick, especially since Creekside Cove has a stash of VHS movies that I haven’t seen in ages.
In the early evening, we return the boat and stop at the grocery store, where we load up on vegetables. At home we make fresh green beans, pasta sauce with yellow peppers and onions, whole wheat penne, and a green salad. Later we head out to the Lakeside Creamery to get fruit smoothies and then enjoy a couple of card games: Kings Around the Corner and Hearts. I lose every game we play! I get cozy in bed and continue reading my book, It’s All Greek to Me! until I happily fall asleep.

Yikes, looks really cold but hey whatever makes you happy 🙂 I read “Lakeside Cemetery to get fruit smoothies” and was about to raise an eye brow when it hit me how blond I am being today.
Yes, Marco, but surprisingly, as I found out when I went on the tube, the water was warmer than the air! Hmmm, “Lakeside Cemetery for smoothies”?? Funny! 🙂
Bizarre how that seems to be the case, and more often than not! Yes I agree – note to self – read properly and try not to get As and Es mixed up!
Haha, you’re funny Marco!
*CHEESy grin*
Those videos of the boys wakeboarding remind me of us water skiing…oh to be young again!!
Yes, those were the good old days, Louise! We were always water skiing back in the day! I wonder when i got so scared to do it again!!
What fun Cathy 🙂 We are taking off Sat/Sun to a beach resort close by, and your pictures are making me impatient for my break!
I hope you have a fun & relaxing time, Madhu! I’m glad I got you in a good frame of mind to relax and enjoy your break!
What fun. Creating memories. Sorry it wasn’t warmer.
Creating memories is always good, Lynne, even if the weather is crummy!
Looks like a perfect day in spite of the cloudy weather. Your two boys are awesome, and you on that tube made me smile 🙂
Thank you adinparadise! It was lots of fun. And yes, me on a tube ~ that is a sight to behold! LOL! 🙂
