Adventures on the Delta

Every day I teach my students that I expect them to try new things.  Well, I was given the opportunity to practice what I preach.  Lee invited me out on the boat with his Dad, Brian, and Kim and of course I went. The guys were all taking turns skiing and then they asked me if I was going to.  (more like told me I was) Well, I've never been skiing before and I was a little nervous. I didn't think I'd be able to get up and I thought that it could very possibly be embarrassing.  I decided to try it and just have fun.  After some instructions I went for it.  I didn't get up the first time but I was surprised how fast I did get up!  I was very wobbly and didn't stay up for too long but I enjoyed it. We went out again a week later and I was able to get up and stay up longer which was a lot of fun!  Even when I was not out skiing, I was having a blast with Lee and the others.  It is just fun being on the boat and hanging out.  This past Monday we went out again but this time we had this nice tube.  Is it called a tube?  There wasn't a whole in the middle.

Lee and I rode on it together for the first couple times.  I loved riding with him!  We have video of us riding a couple times and wiping out hard both times.  I personally think the injuries were worth it. I don't know if I kneed Lee in the face or if he tried to bite me.  Either way, we both were feeling it but I'm afraid Lee got the worst end of the deal.  While watching the videos of us, I was really wishing you could hear our commentary.  I know it would have

been hilarious to listen to while watching.  

While riding alone, I was able to catch some air which was crazy.  I was tossed all around on that thing, holding on for my life.  I could not stop laughing the entire time, even as I was face planting into the raft. The fun and adventures never end here in California with Lee!  I have a permanent smile on my face.  Man I would be bored without him!  I don't
know what I would do with my free time.  

THANKS LEE!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!
