Boating with Teenagers

We have spent a lot of time this year out on the water. All of the times we have been out so far we have been with our kids, so I have had a quite a few leisurely rides on the tube, A few swims in the lake and alot of time spent eating "snacks" in the boat. A couple of weeks ago my Laurels suggested we go boating as an activity, I was definitely up for the idea. The night came, we got a babysitter for the girls and we headed down to the lake with a boat full of teenage girls. Boy, was this boating experience different than all the previous ones this year. I had forgotten how much teenagers like to get the crap beat out of them!! I remember liking this when I was a teenager but haven't felt that urge for a few years.


At first I thought that maybe Greg would take it easy on the girls, no I was wrong. The more they laughed and clung to the tube the faster he went. I am not sure who had more fun Greg or the girls he was trying to kill!! I also thought that Greg would take it easy on his wife and the young women president, nope wrong again. Some girls fell out of the tube some girls jumped out of the tube and I held on to dear life not wanting to fall out of the tube. At one point Greg had me clinging to the tube with one arm half way out when he realized he would be in the dog house if I fell out. He nicely stopped the boat to let me pull myself back in!! Though boating with teenagers is much different from boating with my kids I am not sure which one I prefer. I had a great time, I was definitely sore the next day, but maybe I do enjoy getting the crap beat out of me!!
