I never thought I'd be on a boat. It's a big blue watery road :)

[I'm On a Boat-The Lonely Island]

the next day, we all went out on the boat. we all tried skiing... i failed at it miserably. i think everyone else made it up at least once, but i never did. for some reason i just couldnt get the hang of it. but it was alotta fun to watch everyone try and fall and all that. after lunch, we went back out on the boat and went tubing. it was sooooo much fun! the first time i went with my friend tabatha, but she was kinda afraid of it so we stopped. then rachel went, after making the statement "well, ive never been thrown off the tube before" so of course it was now a challenge for josh. he threw her, twice. the next time i went, i went with jayne. at first it was a really nice ride.. then after a while he tried to throw us. but we wouldnt be thrown. so he tried harder. me and jayne were convinced we were gonna die. but we held on. once, he made a turn and i was on the outside.. i went flying around the turn so fast it was all i could do to hold on. finally we made him stop cuz we were tired and sore and numb. but it was so much fun. and the last time i went, i road double with erica on the lay down tube. it was fun. we had a great system going. when he would turn, we shifted one way or the other to keep balance. but then, we made a big wave and turned, then hit the wave so fast the tube flipped. me and erica just looked at each other and said "oh crap." we flew off the tube. it was so much fun. we went back and had dinner. we cleaned up a little, then went outside and started a fire. we made smores. and lit some fireworks. his brother and his brothers girlfriend showed up too cuz they were staying a couple days. then everyone else had to leave cuz they had to work early in the morning. i was flipping out cuz i didnt know if i should leave or not. i figured i should go or it might be awkward. but i didnt want to at all. i was so conflicted. so i said to him "i can leave now too, if you want. doesnt matter to me." and he said "no you dont have to. if you leave now, im just gonna be the awkward third wheel." so i stayed :)

more later...
