jumping on the wakeboard

last weekend my man flew me up to lake shasta to spend some time on a houseboat with his friends… i was fighting off a sickness but i didn’t wanna give up the chance to meet his friends, nor did i wanna miss out on the fun of being on a houseboat, on a lake, part of nature, away from the city and the stress, and of course, i was looking forward to the chance of wakeboarding again!

lake shasta was rather pretty, although the water levels were dropping extremely low, and i enjoyed being out there.  it was neat seeing markers from old bridges that had been covered up when they first put up the dam on the sacramento river.  i also enjoyed the church service we put on for ourselves cuz i haven’t led out in church in a while - and they put the two of us in charge of song service - with my hoarse voice and all!

here i am enjoying wakeboarding after our impromptu house church. 

and then later in the day, i tried again cuz i wanted to learn to jump.  actually, i got a few jumps in the morning but nothing was caught on camera.  later that afternoon i decided to give it a try again and adam took this photo as proof that i actually did jump =)

we had fishing poles hanging off the side of the houseboat all day long and when we came back in the afternoon, grace’s dora the explorer fishing pole had been pulled over the side by some fish… they set it up again and later on that night, another fish took the bait and my man reeled in this huge fish on this tiny fishing pole.  the fish was almost as big as grace herself!  i can’t believe that plastic pole held up!  can you see how huge that fish was?

kurt kept on creating these fantastic gourmet meals all weekend long as well, but i was too busy eating the yummy-ness to take any pictures.  but all in all it was a great trip!  good people, good food, good times =)
