Boating

We had the mostest fun tonight with our good friends the Normans. They invited us to go and ride Utah Lake in their beautiful boat. We're not much of boat people most of the time (especially Dave) but tonight might have changed our minds.


We rode the tube behind the boat, and then Curt and Jenny taught us how to DEPLOY. Curt got the boat going a certain speed and then would then shout "Deploy" at which point we would all jump off the back of the moving boat (one at a time) into the wake. (Now you can only do this with a jet propelled boat otherwise you will get all cut up from the motor of a motor boat.) The first time it was a little hard to make yourself jump off of the moving boat, but after that it was crazy fun - after a few times I even tried it backwards!!


What an awesome night.


Deploying.


The swim back.




Preston loved riding on the boat with Curt while we all deployed and then would come and jump off the boat to me when we had swam back.







Riding the tube.




We sure do have good friends.
