no luck with the blink {the end}

friday-
the kids meet the tube.
grandpa takes us to his special swimming hole.
max, brennan, and i nose dive off of the tube 
on the way back home into the cove. 
going 5 miles an hour.
no wake.
not fast.
max was traumatized.
brennan and i thought it wasn't so bad.
all falling off together.
adam gave his stamp of approval of 
authenticity on my canteen sandwiches.
i felt like i won the olympics.
uncle adam teaches chase how to juggle.
i stayed in my bathing suit for over 12 hours straight.
we put the kids to bed and adam took us out on the lake in the middle of the night in dad's boat.
he told us about the time the boat died 
out by the miami vice house, 
and how he was all alone at 12:30am, 
and had to paddle the boat with an oar, 
sitting on the front of it, 
to the house with the scary guys
that he thought were going to kill him and steal dad's boat, 
but turned out to really be mechanics that fixed the boat.
and made sure the boat made it back to the house at 12:30am.
scoping out the swimming hole.
chase's girlfriend for the week.
gamma sandie.
it was so cute.
representin'.
compliments of aunt kelsey.
born and bred.
me not him.


playing "hit it" in the cove.
brennan made it up.
he yells "hit it" just like on gampa's boat.
rope pulls tight,
he stands up on his board/ski.
future wake boarder and water skiier right there folks.
gampa was so proud.
THE LAKE HOUSE.
in all her glory.
 he kept me up until 1:30am.
totally worth it:)
 we came home and tried to figure out 
how to blink ourselves home 
instead of driving across california, nevada, and utah.
no luck.

saturday-
when i couldn't starve them out with any longer.
the end.

we finally figured out how to go to bed before 10pm.

thursday-
adam arrives.
swimming in the cove is big business.
loved by all.
except chase.
who just can't figure out why the water doesn't feel 
like uncle dave's 90* swimming pool.
the kids eat an entire pack of twin pops.
like 24 of them.
b/c it was just so hot.
the men take the oldest gibbies on paddle board rides.
sean and i escape on the paddle boards alone.
i make my dad chocolate chip walnut cookies.
sean and i fall asleep at 9:30pm with the kids 
for the 4th night in a row.
and i realize how great it feels to go to bed before 1am.
 my dad looks like richard gere.
that's what i always tell him.
except my dad's more dashing.
charming too.
we're gonna need a hammock.

the boat, the beauty shop, & the sunset cruise {physical therapy too}

wednesday-
my neck is sooo bad.
i might as well have a neck brace on b/c i can't turn my head at all to the right.
i blame the morning wake boarding run.
dr. gibson extraordinaire does 3 joint mobilizations and puts me on an ice regiment for the rest of the day. 
or something fancy like that.
who knew all of those years in school would pay off so great?
physical therapy.
i'm a believer:)
sean is so proud.
max gets her 1st beauty shop treatment with grandma sandie.
chase gets left at home with gamma for the cocktail cruise.
THE BOAT.
where you walk on water.
and fly through the air.


   THE BEAUTY SHOP.
there's nothing like purple sparkle polish 
to make a girl feel like she's having a good day.
no boys allowed.

THE SUNSET CRUISE.
where you don't need sunscreen.
only a drink in your hand.
the most beautiful time of the entire day.
 set me freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
why dont-cha babe:)
nighty night.
sleep tight.
