i made friends with the sun

Saturday was a great day! I FINALLY got to go to the lake in Chestermere and wakeboard. I was a bit reluctant to try wake boarding again because I haven't been able to go for almost a whole year! I learned just last year with the help of Rick and Burns and after attempt after attempt after attempt I was eventually able to get up instead of being dragged around and swallowing enormous amounts of water.

Wake boarding is like riding a bike. Once you learn...first of all you have no idea how you learned in the first place, but secondly, you don't really forget it either. Thankfully I was able to get up on my first try and kind of try to jump the wake...........haha.

It was the PERFECT morning. Steve Evans, Brittany Fox, Arianne, Daryn, Burns, and I all went out. The lake was calm and beautiful for what we set out to do. It was Daryn's first time trying and Steve's second time trying to get up but unfortunately with no success. Burns attempted a backflip but seriously we need to get that boy a tower..and maybe a better boat..and wake board... so he can be pro already!

Denise was amazing as per usual and bought hot dogs for everyone to roast. She also brought cookies and watermelon. MMMMMmmmmmmmm. A couple of Rick's kids came out with their children and went tubing and boating. Such a great day.

Then Arianne, Daryn, Burns, and I were off to the acoustic/art show. Arianne submitted some of her photography and Burns and I performed four acoustic songs.

1. Modern Nature by Sondre Lerche

2. The Only Exception by Paramore

3. Earthquake by me

4. Marzipan by me

I wrote Marzipan just recently for Arianne and Daryn. I got them to send me poems they had written for each other and I added my own lyrics. Burns learned the words pretty much an hour or two before we performed it. Good job Boonie! :)

All four of us then went to see "How to Train Your Dragon". I can probably now say that I have a favourite movie after watching this one. I LOVE IT!!! That was my second time seeing it within a couple days and I even now wouldn't mind watching it again.

Oh and if you haven't been to Canyon Meadows Cinemas...I recommend it. It is only $5 for a decent theatre experience.

Okay...so apparently you need a boating license nowadays. Maybe I should get one haha! Or maybe I should just concentrate on getting my GDL status off of my already existing driver's license. Yeah that's probably a better idea. Then I can actually be legal driving after midnight hahaha. What a joke. Arianne can't even drive legally after midnight and she is 23!!!

I made friends with the sun that Saturday. Then it stabbed me in the back and burnt me to a crisp. I can hardly sleep and I only wish I wasn't wearing clothes right now. Maybe next time I'll wear sunscreen and we can be better friends.
