Love, is a marathon. That's why you get so tired so fast of everyone. Slow down and face yourself. Cause when it's good, it's is a long, open road. You're exhausted, always comming down, trying to come up for air, trying to act like you just don't care. Love is a marathon...

Water Football.

It was my goal this trip to get rid of some unfortunate tan lines I had put earlier this week at the stampede. I managed to make most of my sandle and watch tan disappear but I don't know where my mind was today, I forgot to take off my rings, so I have some pretty sweet ring tan lines! hahaha.

I am so tired from today that I am going to put the events that passed in point form (you know you're getting lazy when...):
- 9am wake up
- Rowan wasn't didn't get out of bed till almost 1pm, so when I got up (while contemplating what to do) I turned on the TV...you know what I watched? I flicked through the channels and found the British Open on. I do admit I tried to watch it and I lasted more than I normally do when watching golf on TV!
- I soon got bored (I tried, that's what counts :P) and headed outside with my new friend from a couple condos over. Him and I decided to head on down to the basketball courts below and shoot some hoops (bad idea with my knee). I just took stationary shots to avoid jarring my knee as much as Jared wanted to play 'one on one' (no dirty pun intended).
- After sweating in the heat (it hit almost 38 degrees here today) I headed back up to my condo to find that Rowan was finally awake!
- We all threw on our swimsuits and headed down to the beach.
- After tanning on the beach we jumped on the boat and went for a two hour cruise around the lake just enjoying the scenery.
- We threw down anchor on the far side of the lake near shore and dove off the boat for a swim. I got a picture of me in the water with Holly! She looks terrified.
- My dad and I attempted to play water football, it involved just throwing around a little football at first and ended in us pushing each other off the boat and pulling cannon balls to splash everyone.

It was then and there, while swimming in the water that my friend pointed to the shore and said 'Don't look!' For starters, don't you hate it when people say that expression? I mean--saying 'don't look' makes you want to look all the more. So of course, I turned around and at first glance all I noticed were two guys and a dog...but wait...I looked closer...and it hit me, that old man standing there on the edge of the water isn't wearing any clothes. You could see everything and trust me--you didn't want to see what we saw. I think my exact comment was "ewwwwwwww". This caused Ron to laugh--he said (for some reason) that my remark was cute and funny. I didn't know about the rest of the group but by this point I was ready to leave the swimming area. We did shortly after.

- After swimming, we realized it was already 5:30 and I was pretty tired from being in the sun all day.
- I came up to the condo, had a shower, put on my comfy clothes and I am laying here icing my knee. I really should slow down.

Till Next Time!

PS Everyone keeps asking me when I get home so I figure (since I found out how many people actually read this) I'd just post it. Tomorrow Rowan and I plan on leaving here around one in the afternoon--it's a three hour drive which will put us back in Calgary around four. Rowan then leaves shortly after we get in so he can get back to his family.

PSS So, to answer your question Serena, yes, I would love to take you and Fraser to my church on Sunday!

Catch you all on the flip side.
