Our day on Watts Bar Lake...

Yesterday the Brocks invited us to the lake with them. We had a wonderful time! It was super hot, but the lake temperature and the company were perfect. Here are a few pics...

Jenn driving the boat...



...while Alan (a.k.a. super star #1) showboated behind on the slalom ski :)


Me strapping on the wakeboard...


Trying hard...


...and this is about as close as I got (okay, I actually did get up twice...it took me 8 tries!...but Josh didn't get a pic of it. Jenn got some good ones where it looks like I'm landing a flip or something, so maybe I'll post those when I get 'em)


Josh strapping on the wakeboard...he and Alan had a hard time getting it on their size 13's! :)


And as always he's a super star at any physical challenge...he was up and wakeboarding on try #2.


Super star #2 up on skis at try #1


I got up twice, and skied for a while. I was so proud! But I got worn out in a hurry...I'm gonna have to build up my stamina!


The other super star got a little sunburn and was all torn up about it...Josh was making fun of his liquid shirt.


Jenn being silly on the kneeboard...


Josh up on the kneeboard...


...and wiping out as he was trying to do a 360 about the same time we hit the huge wake of another boat


Of course he recovered on the next try and had no problem with it ;)


Since we can't all be super stars, we'll settle for being the hot girls on the boat ;) Right Jenn?


Super star #1 on the wakeboard again


...and giving some tips to super star #2...


Super star #2 showin' off his skills on the wakeboard at the end of the day...


Today I am so sore I can hardly stand up straight, but we had a great time! I'm going to have to work out a little harder so I'll be ready for the challenge next time. Thanks for a great day Alan and Jennifer!

Next time I'll take my nice camera, so the quality of the pics will be a little better. I was scared I would drop it in the lake!

Oh, and I forgot to take a picture, but those of you who know Josh can appreciate the fact that we ate our "post game meal" at Mr. Gatti's in Athens on the way back home. :)

Great job, and great pics! I tried to wakeboard once in college and I could never get up on the board. It's hard!!
