DEEP CREEK

We went this week to Deep Creek for a 3-day vacation. Here is where we stayed out of the rain, had a barbecue, played pool, watched a movie and went in the hot tub.

On Monday we went jet skiing for a couple hours, changing drivers every half hour. Daniel was old enough to drive this year. We had zero people flying off, tipping over the jet ski or colliding with anything. That made the event a success. We also dodged the rain and had a beautiful day. On Tuesday we rented a motor boat and tube, and everyone--including the old parents-- got a turn on the tube. Here is Andrea.

James tried the most angles. The one I got the biggest kick out of was the 'Lotus' yoga pose--where he crossed his legs and put his hands up (thumbs touching the forefinger) in a meditative pose while going lickety-split across the choppy water.

Dave was the only one unfortunate enough to have me as the driver. Hold on for a rough one!

James reads, Erika plays the guitar and Daniel waits back at the dock while David, Andrea and Julia jet ski. We went mini-golfing. Andrea climbed the wall at the arcade there. She made it up in no time.

Wednesday was rainy, so after our trip to Lakeside Creamery for a shake, we headed home and we saw a movie at home--'Bourne Ultimatum' for the guys and 'Hairspray' for the girls. Yesterday we went bowling and to lunch together. It's sad to see the summer end!
