Kneeboarding and Scorching Heat

Hey-o!  I am having a splendid time.  Last weekend was particularly amazing.  First, we went bowling on Thursday night, and got unlimited tacos.  They were absolutely delicious.  The bowling place was weird, because if you knocked down 9 pins, it counted as a strike.  Tragedy, right?  Anyways, it was super fun!!!


We also went vacationing for the weekend to a friend's cottage up on Lake Charlevoix, which is right at the top of Michigan's mitten.  AMAZING.  I got to ride on a Sea-Doo, which was pretty awesome, and I got to kneeboard, which was SO MUCH FUN.  I also got to rock a paddle board.  Kind of felt like Robinson Crusoe.  Waterskiing didn't go so well, but that's alright.  It was fun to try :).

This is the beautiful cottage kitchen, in which delicious food like bacon was made.  Yes, one of those bags on the table does contain marshmallow cereal, and yes, that owl was creeping on everyone.


Here are two of my lovely housemates, Erica and Lisa, who also went to the cottage.  Yes, they are amazing, and yes, that is a Star Wars band-aid on Lisa's ankle.


The dock, the deck, and fun water toys.  Oh, yes, and that is Lake Charlevoix.  Oh hey, that almost rhymed! Joy. :P



Also, on Saturday, we saw floating lanterns released right next to us, just like those in Tangled.  Pretty sweet.  Never thought I'd see that.  Basically, the only down side is... well, really, there wasn't a down side.   I hurt my knee, but it doesn't hurt anymore unless I kneel on it.

So... the weekend was full of inordinately unfair amounts of incredible fun.  It was also full of bacon and off-brand lucky charms (but not together).

Heavenly.

Also, it's been like "a billion degrees" (that was a Mark quote) for the past... long time.  Seriously.  Check out the weather forecast for tomorrow (Friday):

It's supposed to be 101°.  That's ridiculous.  There's a small party of us headed over to the math building seeking refuge from the ridiculous heat, because it's 11 PM and 84°, and our apartments don't have air conditioning.  Also, we all have presentations in the morning, and Erica and I still have to finish ours.  Woot!
