Mr. Martha's Moments

This past weekend, I went camping with the Finaus. It was so much fun! We did some Branch acvitivies Friday night, and then Kilisi, Maili, and I slept in the tent while the rest of their fam slept in the tent trailor. There was plenty of room in there for the three of us, but I guess tenting just sounded more fun. I don't know why, of course. The tent trailor has air conditioning, a microwave, sink, two queen sized beds and a full sized bed, plus a kitchen. Anyway, all day Saturday we went boating. It was so much fun! Uncle Brett's moments made it even all the more exciting! lol The first one occured while he was driving the boat and Tami, Kilisi, and I were on the tube. He was stopping at nothing in atempt to throw us off! The three of us were gripping the handles with all our might when Brett suddenly jerked the boat at full speed! Next thing we know, we're hearing a loud ripping noise as we fall into the freezing cold water! The material and handle part of the tube had been torn from the blow up part! It was SO funny! I am still curious as to who won that battle. Anyway, on top of that, while he was bringing the boat to us, Katie Munson, a pregnant family friend, was standing on the back of the boat when he took off, nearly knocking her over! We stayed with the Munsons while Tami and Brett went to go buy a tube. They came back and Munson's left, then we got back onto the boat. By now I had built up the courage to try kneeboarding (I'd made Tami go before lunch), and it ended up being totally fun! I loved it a lot, if my family gets a boat we're definately getting a kneeboard! Anyway, when Brett jumped into the water he realized he still had sun glasses and a hat on, so he tried to be smooth and slide the stuff of before he went under, and he ended up throwing them OVER the boat! It was so funny! It was even funnier when he came back onto the boat and a broken piece of Tami's glasses was attached to his jacket! There went another pair! They later took me on a tour of that part of the Missouri, and we headed back to the campsite, which is when things got VERY scary, but I'll save that for next time. Until then...
