Wakeboarding

So last Saturday I went boating with Mandy and her step brother, who happens to be a guy from Provo High. Garrett Peterson, for anyone who might know him. He has this really nice boat and he took us out on it. Well I've never wake boarded before but I have been wanting to try. I had our friend Jasen give me some tips on wake boarding it before I went. Well, it was awesome. I got up my first try and was able to go out of the wake and almost back in, but I'm not good and cutting that way apparently. One time as I was trying to cut back into the wake, it grabbed my board and slammed me face first into the water. Mandy said that it looked really painful and it made her cringe, but it didn't hurt then. My neck has been a little sore since, though, so maybe it was from that. Anyways, I am not trying to brag just let you know it felt goooood to not feel old and out of shape and I had so much fun. I really think my happiest times are in water and on boats. I am a swimmer at heart (not competition swimming), but I love just being in the water whether its at a lake , the beach, or a pool. Heck, as a kid I played in the water that ran on the streets for irrigation. Thanks to Mandy for inviting me and to her brother for using his gas up. I told Pat we will get a boat someday, I really hope so anyways. And by the way it was a really good break from everything, I feel way better now. Oh, Mandy's mom took pictures and I will post them when I get them.
