Friend's of ours invited us out for the day to their family's cabin on Falcon Lake recently.
WOW! I no longer wonder why my friend spends as much time as possible there all summer! It's a gorgeous lake, and they have such a wonderful set up there!
It was a day of some firsts for us ...
First time tubing for all 4 of us. I think it's safe to say we all enjoyed it, but that's a bit of an understatement for myself. The boys didn't really like the bumps and wanted slower rides, and Dustin found the bumping on the waves to be a little hard on his back, but I dont think I'd ever laughed so hard for so long in my life! Especially with the commentary from my hilarious friend beside me, and the tube deflating as we were flung in circles! My arms ached the next day from hanging on, but I'd go again in a heart beat!
The other first was not so fun. I got my first ever sting. Not just first ever bee sting, or wasp sting, but first ever sting of any kind! My mom is deathly allergic to wasp stings, so I've always been a little nervous around those pesky insects, not knowing if I inherited her allergy.
In the middle of Falcon Lake, sitting on a tube, is not the place I wanted, nor expected, to test if I'm allergic! When we discovered the wasp sting, Dustin's face probably mirrored my own ... OH NO! NOT HERE!! And it was definitely a wasp, the dead (squished) insect was still caught where my leg bent when I stretched out. It fell out into Dustin's hands when we looked what was hurting me so much.
The fact that I'm sharing this should tell you the gene skipped over me and I was completely fine (although it burned and was uncomfortable for the rest of the day :( ), but I'm still trying to figure out how it managed to get in the crease of my leg where my leg bends by my hip ... while I was TUBING of all things! That's just nuts, isnt it?!
Anyway, it was seriously a great day, wasp sting and all, and we're so thankful that we got to spend this day with some great friends!

My heart was in my mouth when I read that you'd been stung. What a relief to know that you don't have to worry about that any more. Love you lots, Mom
