So this weekend was interesting. My family and I decided to go off in search of some water to stave off the heat. Sorry Alan we never managed to get over to your house, we decided to deal with my family and go to Aunt Nancy's, she has a much larger pool (Big Lake). My aunt taught Aaron how to drive a jet ski, then she took me out on the lake and if I didn't know better I would have thought she was trying to lose me off the back of the jet ski. Then Aaron took Moira out on the jet ski, I though she would be scared but apparently she is a Rogers through and through, she had a blast when aaron went fast and over the waves. Then Aaron took me and Moira on a jet ski and Aunt nancy got on hers and we went to the end of the lake to swim. Moira had a life jacket of course and didn't quite get that if you jump in the lake it won't keep you on the top of the water, you have to go down and then it will float you back up. Well with this crazy look on her face she jumped off the back of the jet ski (didn't hold her nose mind you) I was already in the water so I grabbed the back of her jacket and pulled her up to the surface faster. Upon reaching the surface she was a little freaked of course and had water up her nose, Moira doesn't have a lot of swimming experience so this was a good lesson for her. She didn't let it bother he to much cause she still said she had a blast. And Aaron actually was having a good time, he also got to ride on dad's bike out to the lake so that helped. All and all it was an awesome way to spend an overly hot day with the family.
Before the weekend started Aaron had gotten a call from his brother that his favorite grandfather had passed. The circumstances around his death peeved aaron a little. Aarons aunts and uncles had convinced grandpa to get an unnecessary surgery to remove his colon (he had colon cancer), when he could have gone in for shots and would have probably died of old age. Needless to say he never woke up from the experimental procedure. Aaron's dad is no longer talking to his siblings because he didn't agree with what they did, and now the jerks are arguing over his father's estate. So Aaron really needed this weekend.
anyway more later I'm rambling....
