We went to the lake Sunday. We made the drive up to Oklahoma and went to Brokenbow Lake. That is one of the most beautiful lakes. I would have been happy just riding around all day but of course, we had a new toy to try out. Rather, we had a new toy I had to try out.
My brother gave us his old wakeboard and it was time for me to attempt this thing. I have seen a lot of people doing it and I gotta tell ya, it doesn't look easy. I called my brother on the way and said "OK, how do I actually get up on this thing?" He laughed and said "However you can! It took me three tries before I got up on it." OK, he can do trick and flips and stuff on this thing so I was now even more worried about it. He also rode snowboards all the time when he lived in Utah.
So we get out there, it takes me forever to get the thing on, and in the water I go.
Then, I pop up on the first freakin try!!!! WOOHOO!!
Then, all I can think is "Now what do I do?" I could go left but not right. This is going to take some work.
After that, I got on my trusty knee board. I have ridden a knee board since I was 4 years old. Benny didn't take pics if me wakeboarding (I was a little pissed about that) but he did of me knee boarding.

When I came back in the wake, I jumped it and landed very wrong! Yup, ended face first in the water. And for some reason, I am only sore on my left side. Guess my right side is in better shape!
Oh well, the fam still thought I was awesome! Also, this summer will probably be me rattling on about our weekends. Summertime to us is all about us having fun with our kids!

Looks like a lot of fun even to a non-swimmer like me!
I could hold your beer while you're in the water! ;)
BTW, I love your new profile pic. You look very sassy!
Awesome...I love your lake and boating stories! I used to love kneeboards too, until I took a nosedive jumping a wake one time and the board sprung up out of the water and came crashing down on the back of my neck...never again. I almost passed out that day.
Congratulations on the wakeboarding..make sure Benny gets pictures next time!
You are friggin awesome girl! That looks like such a blast! Ok how is this for weird...Levi's family (grandparents) are from Broken Bow OK?!!
You ARE awesome. And brave cause there is no way in hell I would do any of that stuff.
OMGosh you so ROCK!!!! I would break my neck if i even tried that!
Brokenbow lake is a very pretty area!
You can bring your boat to my lake and we can do all that stuff there. Plus I have beer too. Oh yeah I'll let Carrin come too.
You are awesome!!! Look at you go!!! I've never been able to ski at all but give me a tube and some beer. I'm good!!! XOXO
I looooove wakeboarding! It's so much fun and a lot harder than it looks. I'm a chicken when it comes to the lake water though...I do NOT like water that I can't see in, so when I fall I splash around like a maniac. I'm afraid something is going to touch me! :)
Nice ass shot...
Whoo-hoo! Way to show them you still got it!
You go girl!
I'm jealous... not sure I could pull that off.
