Ever tried waterskiing in a snowsuit?

This morning it was 37 degrees at 7am.....and guess where we were? We took the boat out on Lake Sammamish to do a little skiing and wake boarding before Jason went to work. The kids literally were in their snow suits, with mittens, hats and sippy cups full of hot chocolate.


We had dry suits to wear, but it was still freezing once you got up. Because now your head, hands and feet were wet and the cold 37 degree weather was now blowing on you. Jason's friend, Scott, came with us so that we could be legal and have a flagger. Actually most times we go out Scott comes with us... (Jason and Scott are like 2 peas in a pod) Or as Anne of Avonlea would say, they are "Bosom Buddies" ..at least they are when it comes to boats and wake boarding. This is actually a picture of Scott wake boarding, but it really showed all the steam coming off the lake that early in the morning. Frigid, I know.



Remember when you were in middle school and you planned a double wedding with your best friend? Well, Jason and Scott, bought matching boats within 2-3 weeks of each other and then bought matching wake board towers as well. It's like middle school all over again, but in a good way. But I digress....


Tonight we had a new family from our neighborhood over for dinner and it was really fun. They are originally from Canada, but recently moved here from Wenatchee. They were really fun and I was surprised to hear that they love to play DDR (Dance Dance Revolution). It was a blast to play with another family that would actually get up and do it with us. Most people are too embarrassed to try and so Jason and I end up making an exhibition of ourselves.

The dad, Cam, was really impressed with how well Dallin could play the XBOX. I don't really know if that is a good thing though. :) Dallin has gotten really really good....Jason has been hoping to find an XBOX competition somewhere and enter him.

"As long as he is so good we should make a little money off it!" :)

...always the entrepreneur.
