Last night our electricity went out due to the storms so we had to sit around with candles and do old-school stuff like TALK. Turns out there’s a guy and a young girl who live in my house. Who knew? At one point Moon said, “This is great. You can’t use your computer like you did that one time at the lake.”
Okayyy. I guess a certain teenager is a little resentful. Perhaps we need a little more “unplugged” time.
Speaking of the LAKE, we went a few weeks ago.
Moon and her BFF, Jemi, had a great time riding the inner tube. Question – Do they still call it an inner tube? Back in MY day, I rode an actual tube, like this –
Which made riding and not killing yourself a tad bit harder. Anyway.
The girls had a great time until the line broke.
But we forged ahead by tying the much shorter rope to the boat. “Hey Girls, want me to hand you a soda?”
Later, JD decided we needed even MORE excitement and let Moon drive the boat.
Just Moon. Her BFF, Jemi, most certainly did not. That would have been dangerous. In fact, we put Jemi on shore with a life jacket and a life guard while we drove around in really fast circles.
The End.
I realize that this is not the most riveting story, but it does have a point. One day my daughter can read it and remember that I did, in fact, go to the lake WITHOUT my computer.
The wi-fi out there is the worst.
My family and I are also planning to try something similar. The post is so inspirational, so may be it will happen this summer.
