Fun in the Sun--July 2008

Looks posed, but it was really more of an, "I caught you"
picture. Which could explain why he doesn't look too
thrilled . . .

Brett's Grandma's husband, Chris & his brother on one of the seadoos.

Brett's mom, Janet, Brett, & his brother Mathew

Mathew, ready to go tubbing, which I was not brave enough to do!

My water shoes, it's very rocky so you have to wear them when you're out in the water. I got them out of the kids section, which is why they're pink!

I look sick in this pic, but we'd just spent an entire day at the lake
& were hot, exhausted & sun baked! :)

I love this picture, we took it on the
boat at the end of the day.

Out in the water . . . when your feet can't touch the ground
I always have flashbacks of movies like "Jaws" & get nervous,
even though, yes, I am aware there aren't any sharks in freshwater lakes.
So, Brett's Grandma Barbara (mom's side) owns a river house on the Colorado river which is on the border of Laughlin, NV (can't spell) and Bullhead City AZ. Every summer Brett & his younger brothers go & have fun in the water & sweltering heat. They've got a house boat & seadoos & tubes . . . I didn't get to go last time, so July was my first time. It sounded fun so I was pretty excited to go. Little did I know that it is like way below sea level so it is a sweltering HOT HOT HOT pit. So you spend a lot of time running around in swimsuits & tank tops, I made the mistake of packing jeans . . . ha, yeah right! It was so much fun though, it was also my first time on a seadoo, and that was pretty mch my favorite! The guys also went fishing, and caught a cat fish & some others. We spent our evenings huddled under AC & fans, along with BBQs. One morning Brett's Grandma made us a HUGE wonderful breakfast with pancakes, all kinds of fruits, whpped cream, toast ect (she's famous for that). We also spent most of our time on Lake Mojave which is actually the best for seadoos. All in all it was a pretty great time, check out some of our pictures & see for yourself!
