Lake Anna

Went to Lake Anna again with Stephanie. It was.......quite and adventure. Well I got to her house around 9:20 perhaps and we drove to her dad's lake house. Got there and talked to her grandma and aunts for a bit. Then her dad took us and Rylan on the boat to do some water sports. Rylan did knee boarding. He did his new trick. He learned to do a 360. Well after him, I went and tried wake boarding. The first time I fell off completely. Second time, I almost got up. Third time, still a no go. Well after the third time, the boat started drifting to the rocks. Steph's dad tried to drive away, but the rope got caught. So now engineless and vulnerable to crashing, I swim like 20 feet to the boat before it started drifting and help push it away from the rocks. Her dad jumped in and also helped. This went on for like a good 15-20 minutes before Rylan and Stephanie flagged down help, who at first thought they were just waving. We got towed to a small sandy island and then from there, anchored and Stephanie and her dad went to work on untangling the rope. It was funny that the boat that towed us had to leave behind one of their crew(?) I guess you would say because they started towing us while he was still in the water. Anyways, they got one engine free by unwrapping and got a knife from a boat that also anchored at the island. Eventually, we got back to the dock and put the boat on the trailer and went back to the house. Her dad got the rest of the rope out and then Stephanie tended to my wounds. She got hurt a bit, but she's a tough cookies. She can handle it :P.

Ooph. It was tiring. My forearms are shot now. I can't even open a safety pin with my middle finger and thumb. Blahhhhhh. Well, it was fun though. I want to try to wake board again and see if I get up and keep balanced. Until then, I will sit in my office chair and design websites and try to take photos sometimes.

Update: Though of a good analogy for my hands! My hands are like when you are super tired or laughing so hard that when you try and squeeze something, but you can't.

Here are three pictures:

I am in the water.....


Poor legs :(. It doesn't look too bad in this pic, but they are all around on the sides of my legs and feet too.


Awesome band-aid though!
