Aquaholics

Eddie and I have lived in Las Vegas for almost FIVE YEARS (crazy, right?!) and I have NEVER been to Lake Mead. For those of you who don't know, Lake Mead is a man-made lake that is maintained by the water from the Hoover Dam. Court's parents got a house boat this Summer and we went to check it out for a few hours the day after it arrived. Before going to see the house boat we picked up Court's sister, Allison, and some bread to feed the fish.

Me, Grace, Court, and Allison feeding the fish.  

I swear we would throw one piece of bread in the water and in minutes there would be tons of fish at the surface of the water searching for bread - it was nuts! The fish were so gross looking! Can you imagine jumping into this:

Now that's what I call a party!

After feeding the fish we made our way to the house boat, The Aquaholic. It was such a beautiful boat and have never seen anything like it before. Although I was blown away by how nice the boat was I was very nervous about Ed being on a boat without a life vest. For almost eight years Ed has told me he can't swim. I have tried to teach him a million several times, but he always seems to sink to the bottom...it's a real problem. On our honeymoon he did really good in the ocean (with a life vest) so it must have given him a confidence boost because he was determined to jump into Lake Mead that day, whether it gave me a heart attack or not! Needless to say...he jumped in, flipped in, dove in, swam around...I mean this kid was freakin' Flipper himself! WTF?! I think he's been lying to me all these years...

Here's the evidence that he's a pro:

We had such a good day at the lake and are very grateful that the Gruber's allowed us to come visit them on The Aquaholic. I'm glad the day brought out my husband's inner Michael Phelps! :)

After our day at the lake we went home and got ready to go Country Fest with our friends. I'm not a real fan of country music, but I'm always down to party with my friends and besides, country folks sure do know how to party!

The Girls at Country Fest

My brother Kasie's Brother, Randy, came to Country Fest and I was so excited because I love spending time with him - he's hilarious!

Court and I saw these two studs and decided to sneak up on them:

They were selling glow sticks, laser guns and all sorts of crazy things and Court's stepdad went a little crazy with the laser gun while the boys were well...themselves!

The whole day was fun and I can honestly say I am truly blessed with the greatest friends in the world! :)
