We had another great get together on the river this weekend!!! David was in town from NYC with his boyfriend, Adam, so we all got together to meet Adam and have some fun!
Everyone was on board by 7:30pm on Saturday night! Cheers to the start of a fun night!
Not pictured up there: Henry (Hank) Stauffer. He was a champ and slept in the lake with us. He went to bed by 7pm and sleep until 8am with little to no trouble in between! What a guy!
Henry and Mama Mariah.
As soon as we got back to the lake on Saturday, we all got some refreshments and headed up to sit on the top deck. It was a beautiful evening/night. We stayed up there all night long.
Our first top-deck entertainment.... David jumped off the top of the boat for the first time! (Capt. Jonathon agreed to jump with him.)
As usual, David provided us with laughs. All. Night. Long.
Highlights of the evening: Dance party with DJ Josh and music therapy with Adam. We also watched fireworks over the river and sang "Proud to Be An American" (among other songs) at the top of our lungs with Adam on guitar! LOVED IT!
We woke up on Sunday morning and realized we weren't alone. FISH FLIES!!!
They were covering the boat!! Gross!! We drove back to dock to pick up family and Josh helped clean off the entire boat! (He wins #1 crew member AGAIN this year!)
Our morning was filled with laid back social time (as we were all a bit tired from the night before).
Around lunch time, we were ready to hit the water for some skiing!!
Meanwhile, Brenda and Joe had some romantic time on the front top deck.
First, skiing with David. He got up on the first try!! (He had just learned to ski two days earlier!)
View from behind.
There's that creepy face again.
Photo op!
Next, Mariah and Cheri ski.
Wipeout!
This is where things get hilarious. Check out Mariah's bottoms... they are sagging a bit. Yes, I noticed.
Cute picture.... but I wonder what those boats behind us are thinking. Why?
Mariah's bottoms were so loose by that time, he entire derriere was showing. I have never skied with anyone with their butt hanging out before. I could not. stop. laughing.
Neither could Mariah.
I mean, look at this picture. Can you see a bit of what I was seeing?
She tried to fix it once, but saw it would be no use. So she just kept on skiing.
And I kept on laughing. (I was laughing so hard, I couldn't even stand up straight.)
Soon, Mariah was having that problem she often has when she laughs, and we have to cut.
That was one of the best skiing moments of my life. Thanks Mariah. :)
Next, skiing with Erin! Look at our tricks!
Yep, we're amazing.
We got back in time for lunch. (There was plenty of good food ALL weekend, of course.)
David made quite the sub sandwich.
By the afternoon, the sun was shining and the fish flies were dead. It was beautiful.
Hahaha. Oh, Brenda and Joe....
Swimming!
Cutest babies on the boat!
The future Mr. & Mrs. Henry Stauffer.
We headed back early Sunday evening. Joe & Trace were on the lookout!
Storytime on the front deck when we arrived back at dock.
One last picture....
Thank you to everyone for an AMAZING gathering!!! The conversation was great, the laughs were endless, and the puppy chow was just okay. :)
LOVE YOU ALL!! Can't wait to do it all again soon!!
