Our night wasn't the most restful, it is way to hot without air conditioning but freezing with the air on. Coffee was weak just ruining the morning. But things started improving at breakfast with good food. After breakfast we loaded up our rental pontoon boat and enjoyed the lake before anchoring at an island. The kids had a great time jumping off the small cliffs and exploring some shallow caves. Dan's boat took the wake boarders out while the rest of us payed around in the water on rafts keeping cool. By 12:30pm a few of us were ready to head back in.
Dan took us back on his speed boat zooming across the lake at a high rate of speed. We were airborne quite a few times. When the pontoon boat started coming back, it almost sank! The left pontoon had been listing a bit low in the water,mike hit a wave and the front of the boat started taking on water. The passengers had to run to the back and Mike had to quickly put it in reverse to stop it from sinking. They made it home safely. Mark grilled steak and we had our dinner early, around 4:30pm as the group decided to go tubing right after dinner. Mark, I and Mom stayed back as we had all had enough water, heat and sun. The emergency call came from Diane, "quick bring a van to the beach, Abrahm is hurt." Mark jumped in Anna's car and met the pontoon with Abrahm. He had gone flying when tubing and was thrown hard. He was actually starting to feel a bit better so the trip to the hospital was cancelled. Everybody is now down at Rachel's campsite cooking big slabs of bacon and singing around the camp fire. We are heading to bed,just not used to playing so hard.
