Lifestyles of the NOT rich and famous


This is the quote my brother, Lee and his wife, Becca call themselves. They are proud owners of a 1980's speed boat and a wave runner and cross their fingers everytime they adventure out, that they will make it all day without something breaking down. Since they are both in the school system, they are both able to get out on the water and relax most of the summer, which is where they get there quote. Anyway, so on Wednesday my sister, Megan and her husband, Aaron were in town, so the Snider's invited us all down for an afternoon of relaxation on the water...and no kids:). We started off with some tubing (and four days later I am still sore). Then found a nice spot and all jumped in the water and did some floating. Throughout the afternoon we all took turns riding on the wave runner. I had never been on one before. I rode with Greg first, mistake. Fun for him, painful for me. So I learned to drive, much better. I can see why they can get so addicitive, they are so much fun. Then Lee drove the boat around while Greg and Aaron took turns jumping the waves so they could get some "air". They did so good and it looked like a lot of fun. That is, Greg, to the left, showing off his moves. Afterwards we met my parents back at Lee and Becca's house for a yummy dinner and a cornhole tournament. The Replogles held strong the first game but we were no competition for the Sniders or Zehrs. But hey, we had a whole afternoon to hang out with my family and enjoy their company, without kids. First time ever I believe. It was nice. Love my kids dearly. But it was nice! Thanks for a great day, Lee and Becca!

We had so much fun! I love the shot of Greg, all hunched over and serious about getting some air off the waves! And he sure was getting way out of the water!
love you guys.

Natalie---hey, it's Jewel from MOTTTs. I'm not sure if I already told you or not, if I did, sorry for the repeat! But I finished reading all of your posts. It's been awesome getting to know you this way. While I was reading, I kept wondering what cornhole was & now I see the picture of it. I know that game, just didn't know it was called cornhole!

Hey, this has nothing to do w/this post. But I wanted to tell you that I copied you on celebrating my hubby Ben's 30th BD by going to a water park & sleeping over! So thanx!
