Beautiful Day and Weekend

What a beautiful weekend this has been. We were at the cabin and I had more naps this weekend than I have had in the last month of weekends combined. I don't know what was up but if I was still for 5 minutes it wasn't me. I can't believe that I am awake now. I was in bed by 9:30 last night and oh it was so delicious. I admit I am a nap girl. My favorite time to nap is about 10:30 a.m. after being out of bed for 2 hours. Then I can scrap or read when everyone else is napping. I was sad when Campbell stopped napping but I can usually tempt him with a movie. Anyway I digress, I was going to talk about the beautiful weekend (and it's not over). The weather was a perfect 86 and if it was supposed to be humid I didn't feel it lazing by the lake. The nights were perfect for a campfire and s'mores. Yesterday the lake wasn't as crowded as today and I wasn't on a jet ski. Oh darn! I had Jamison on the jet ski this morning and he kept wanting to go faster. I had the Jet ski going 30 and he was laughing like crazy. At one time I thought he was telling me to stop so I slowed down and he looked up at me with a grin and said "faster". This is definitely not the child that should be on the jet ski with me. I like cruising at 20 and looking at the houses. If I get on the crest of someones waves I cringe. Before this summer I have not drove the jet ski in at least 8 years and didn't miss it.

Last night we took a night cruise. We had the radio going to the '80s classics. Jamison was dancing up a storm. Campbell even joined him for a song or two. It's kind of eerie watching those lights come at you on the lake. One green eye and one red floating in the distance and then you hear the sound of their boat. They might be talking and you can catch some of the conversation. Or they might have their radio going on a different channel and when you meet the songs blend like when one station is fading out and the other is coming in. You of course want to stay with the station that is playing that favorite song. Last night the song was "Life is a Highway" Campbell knows it from the movie "Cars" I remember when it came out and Tom Cochrane sang it. How old do I feel that they are remaking songs from my youth? Not as good as the original though. Luckily this was on our radio, and the boat we passed tried to find it on theirs. We tried a new pizza place and I will go back again. It shouldn't surprise me though the place looked like a dive. Why do dives always have the best food? We have one more day of the perfect weekend. As long as I get to scrap this weekend will be a success. Good Night all.

See this is what I am talking about...I felt like I was there with you Heidi, especially the night ride and the music and boat lights. Those are wonderful times to remember. Sounds like you had a beautiful weekend!
