My wonderful roommates and I decided to make a summer bucket
list of all the things we want to do this summer. We made our list into a wall
display so we could be reminded of it all summer long. We decided that as we do
each thing we would replace the paper with a picture of us doing it and by the
end of summer our wall display should be a collection of fun pictures of us
together.
We kicked off our Summer 2012 this weekend with a trip to Bear Lake.
This little trip was one of my ideas so I was super excited (although kinda sad
because Becca was unable come). I first went to Bear Lake
years ago for a wedding and was told the town was amazing during the summer and
I had to come back and try one of their famous raspberry milkshakes. We decided
to make it into a whole weekend trip since we could stay for free with my
roommate’s parents nearby.
On Saturday afternoon we rented a pedal-boat. Neither one of
us had ever been on a pedal-boat so we thought it would be super fun. The guys
who rented us the boat joked about how we would need them to come rescue us and
asked us to take a cell phone and gave us their personal phone numbers just in
case. Jen and I had so much fun pedaling around the lake until we decided to
head back to shore and that’s when the adventure with the blonde kicked in.
Unfortunately we picked the wrong day to rent a pedal-boat.
The wind made it absolutely impossible for us to pedal against it. Of course
both Jen and I are very stubborn and determined so we were not going to let the
wind stop us and there was no way we were going to call the guys for a rescue!!
After about half an hour of pedaling our hearts out and not going anywhere the
guys came on their own to help. Jen and I refused to give up. The guys were cool
and sat back on their wave-runner until we could no longer move our legs and humbled
ourselves enough to ask for help. Being the great guys they were, they admitted
that they knew the whole time there was no way we were going to make it back
and had been watching us with binoculars the whole time. We might have been mad
if they weren’t such good looking guys but we let it slide and had fun getting
to know them as we were pulled to shore.
Over all it was a great weekend and we were able to cross more things then we expected off our bucket list: raspberry milk shakes,
day on the lake, hike, and meeting sexy men (although that one is an all summer
long project). The guys also invited us back to make up for our little mishap so
we are looking forward to another exciting Bear Lake
adventure in a few weeks.
