The original plan was to go to Lake Mojave, but high winds thwarted our ability to take a boat out. So we drove the 45 minutes to Lake Havasu where the winds were milder. Thankfully we were able to rent a boat (and a nice one!) with last minute notice.
We spent the first part of the day just motoring around, taking in the beautiful shoreline. We stopped to eat and hangout in a quiet little alcove and enjoyed the cool water and warm air (it was roughly 115 degrees out).
Then we progressed to the more active part of the day - wakeboarding and tubing! I had never been wakeboarding before but was eager to try. After two of my friends showed off their awesome skills, it was my turn.

with a little help to pull the laces tight!
Let's just say I was less than stellar, BUT I almost made it up. So, so, so close I could taste it. After about a million tries, my hands just hurt too much to continue holding onto the rope. So I took off the board and gave others a try. I had a great time, and I did not even get to standing, so I am very much looking forward to the next time, when I WILL STAND!
It was a beautiful day on the lake with the best of friends, trying something new ... living every day. :)
