"Skiin' in the Rain"

The place: Canyon Lake
The weather: dreary and wet
The time: 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.

OK, so what were we doing? Enjoying water activities...some conquered all and others, not so much :)

Boating, wake boarding, jet skiing and tubing. I think everyone is a bit sore today! What a blast! Due to threatening thunderstorms all day and the cloudy atmosphere, not many people were on the water...so we had complete freedom to be just as crazy as we wished.

Our original plan was to head out to the Clark's house on Sunday night so we could get an early start on Monday morning. Haha! We stayed up till the wee hours of the morning laughing, baking, watching a movie, laughing some more and playing Nerts. So needless to say, an early start wasn't the order of the day! We did finally make it out the door after a scrumptious breakfast (Mrs. Clark is a great cook) divided up into two cars and set out on an adventure that would prove to supply many life-long memories!

Just the oldest six of us were able to go this time...poor Dad and Mom had to miss out. When I called home they were doing laundry, cleaning dog kennels, caring for sick children, and doing animal chores...it was because of their selflessness that we were able to enjoy such a fabulous day.

I am having a terrible time writing this post! I will conclude now and let the pictures say the rest. Thanks Mr. Clark for being such a great "water chauffeur" and thanks to Mrs. Clark we have documentation of some hilarious moments :) Enjoy!
