My cousins are in town from Tucson, AZ – for a WHOLE week. That means you have to become creative with entertainment ideas. Well, nothing beats a Memorial Day Weekend “day at the lake”. We spent well over 6 hours doing a lot of this:

WAKE-BOARDING!

When it came to wake-boarding, some of us were professionals. And some of us were newbies.  We definitely used our talent t show off our tricks.

For me that meant making it over the wake. 

For girl boarder #2, Andrea, that meant getting up for the first time, and conquering her fear of that “bump” in the water.  

And for “brother”, it meant catching some air.

…followed by a “hard”, but successful, landing. 

This morning I woke up in complete soreness. A total muscle confusion for my body, I used muscles I never knew I had. Hope you have a Happy, “Pain-free” Memorial Day Weekend!! Off to bake a red velvet cake for a dinner celebration tonight! YUM if it was not 7:52 in the morning!
