Canyon Lake 06!!

David and I just returned from the lake after one last big weekend before starting school tomorrow. Saturday was Ryan's 21st Birthday, and he LOVES pirates (or the idea that he was one in a past life), so David and I spent all night Thursday night buying him his pirate presents. We got him a light-up sword and shoulder thing to put it in, an eye patch, a gold earring, a bandana, and a LOT of rum!! Dave and I got him Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay Coconut Rum and my parents got him Pyrat brand rum! He enjoyed a large amount of it this weekend:) We bought all the pirate stuff for him so he could be captain of the ship this weekend, which he did for a while. On Saturday we met Kathy Elder, her son Trey, and his girlfriend Stephanie - who I like to call our traveling buddies - for a day of boating on the lake. We went out on our boat almost all day, whereas the adults stayed on shore in the shade drinking and chatting. I don't think they went our for more than a few hours. The lake was so pretty! I was way down, but it was clear and turquoise blue, and the perfect temperature for swimming. We swam a lot, so at the end of the day we just went back to the condo and ate leftovers. Since I have been on a diet for a while, I decided to indulge a little yesterday at the lake, which was a HUGE mistake. I got REALLY sick that night from all the horrible (by this I mean horrible for me, not horrible tasting) food I had eaten, so Dave and I ended up going to sleep around 11:00. Today I felt much better, and we went swimming this morning at the pool, then we went to the Gristmill in Gruene for lunch with Kathy and Trey and Stephanie. Gruene is such a cute town, and the food was yummy, but alas, Dave and I had to leave to get ready for school tomorrow. I really don't want to go back, but at least I don't have Latin this year, which is what I try to keep telling myself. Anyway, I have all three of my classes tomorrow, so wish me luck!! And check out the pics!!
