The day of the girl's birthday party, Derek went on an overnight scout trip to a lake. A boat was brought and they had many hours of water activities--skiing, wakeboarding and wake surfing. Derek hadn't tried some of these before, so it was his first time. Derek was quite impressed with the skills of some of the boys. They were pulled by a rope behind the boat on their surf boards and then would let go of the rope and would ride the waves behind the boat for about 15 minutes. Some of the boys knew how to do flips from one side of the wave to the other on their wake boards. It was a fun time! Derek came home very tired and stayed sore for a few days because he'd used muscles that were rarely used.
A short time after Derek returned from his lake activity, we went to an Elder's Quorum get together at Golfland. This Golfland in San Jose has a few water slides and the older kids just loved going on those over and over. Jamie was hesitant to try, but once she did, she loved it and stayed at it a long time. Laurel, Sammie, Mackenzie and Cathy played a quick round of mini golf and enjoyed the BBQ and visiting with others there. Some of us even tried a few arcade games, but that wasn't nearly as fun as being outside with the water slides and golfing.
