Thanks Ashlee!!! :o)



Well, thanks to my lil' sis I now have a blog to tell the world.......nothing! I don't have much to report and I don't really know what this blog thing is all about, but here goes.

It was Kevin's birthday on Sunday the 3rd of August and for his celebration we rode our motorcycles to Bear Lake on Monday the 4th. We met Ashlee (the lil' sis who is responsible me writing this boring blog), Josh and the kids for a day of fun in the sun. We got there no problem, although that is a LONG ride on a small 500cc sport bike, Kevin's bike is a big luxury sport touring 1200cc bike that rides like a Cadillac (can you hear the jealousy in my words?).


So, back to the story, we did finally get there safely and met up with Ashlee and the fam. Off to rent a jet ski and the fun begins...... Ashlee and Josh first tried to tell Kevin and I that they weren't going to ride on the jet ski (Yeah right, are they serious?), so Kevin and I took the kids out one at a time. Daimen went first and wasn't too impressed so we took him back to the beach. Next came Kaybree, she thought it was alright until Kevin let his adrenaline kick in and scared her because he went too fast. She was also very worried about the sharks that live in the water.....to show her that it was safe I threw myself into the water, but she wasn't convinced. So we took her back to the shore. I then told Ashlee to go with Kevin for one ride.......that was the beginning of the end! She was hooked, I guess Kevin threw her off a couple of times and showed her how to drive it very responsibly, NOT!

I must tell you that one of the reasons Kevin and I are attracted to each other is because we are both adrenaline junkies of the highest level!!! We first realized this when we went to the L.A. county fair.....we went on every crazy ride that we could find! Last summer we went to Bear Lake with our friends Dan and Sandee to experience, for the first time, the fun of a jet ski and immediately fell in love. You can be as crazy and stupid as you want and all that happens is you get wet! You can't do this on a motorcycle so you get the same rush with less risk of bodily harm!!!! It is an absolute blast!


So by the time Kevin and Ashlee came back she was hooked. Josh was next and had a great time as well. So for the two people who said weren't going to ride on it........ they never got off! I got back on once after I took the kids with Kevin, but being the loving protective husband that he is, he kept trying to through me off......after several attempts with no success he got more extreme with his turns and I went flying with my $100 plus sunglasses on my face but along with me went flying off my face into the lake. I was pissed so I never got back on...... my own fault! Sometimes I can be so stubborn that I cheat myself out of having fun! Maybe a fish on the bottom of the lake is lucky enough to be styling in some Smith slider glasses! Lesson learned!


I did have fun on the beach with the kids though! I buried Daimen ("Eefa can you help me")about 50 times to his delight and played with Kaybree in the water ! Overall it was a great trip and I know Ashlee and her fam had a blast as well!!!!!

Oh, I want to tell Ashlee and Josh THANKS for dinner after a great day of fun and sun at "Kaybree's" Bear Lake.

We then had to ride back at dusk with all the wonderful bugs out.....our helmets and bikes are MASS murders of millions of unlucky bugs. It was a very long ride back and at some points very cold. We got home safely at about 10pm. Long but satisfying day!
