Summer Fun

Melissa Burk (aka Beekers) and her boyfriend David invited us to go boating at Camp Far West Lake a few weeks ago. It was beautiful, we got there just as the sun was setting. A little chilly, but we still got in the water and went swimming.

We had quite the adventure. It all started when a police officer was going really slow behind us. We pulled over thinking we were going to get a speeding ticket and then the cop went around us. A couple feet ahead we ran into this:

Moral of the picture?
DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE


Once we got to the lake, Melissa and I were chillin' in the truck while the guys did all the hard work (ya know, getting the boat unhooked and putting fuel in it, stuff they actually enjoy) and then... we had a killer mud wasp attack! The wasp almost ate Melissa alive so I did what I had to do to save us and I threw the beach towel out the window (the wasp was on the towel). The boys didn't think it was as life threatening as we did, but then again they didn't see the wasp. It was a close call but we lived to tell about it... thankfully.

Then we went on the lake with David's speed boat and had lots of fun going so fast that we all had tears in our eyes. Beekers actually went so fast that David fell off the boat and this was her reaction...
and here is David waiting to be picked up...
and it turns out David just jumped off the boat to get a reaction from Melissa, silly boy!

We went swimming in the lake and almost got sucked up by an octopus, and then found out it was just seaweed. Almost another life threatening moment (but again the boys didn't seem to think so)!

Doobs+Beekers

Jeff loved being on the water and was very excited when he got to drive the boat.

We had a great time! Can we do it again...maybe with a tube that has all the plugs!? Love ya Beekers!
