Lake P-Ouch!

So, I started thinking before we left for Powell last week, 'I always end up posting the same boring Powell pictures - wakeboarding, cliff jumping, group picture, yada yada yada.  You catch my drift?  Anyhoo, this trip was a little more exciting than Powell trips past.  I'll fill you in as you scroll down...

The crew:  Mark and Candice Reeb and Co., the soon-to-be plastic surgeon of my dreams, Dr. Josh (Mufasa) Olson and his beautiful wife Laura aka Malibu Barbie, Laura's getto-fabulous brother, Cody and his lovely wife, Brittany, and the Stapes clan (we brought along Keagan's little buddy, Aleia, her least dramatic, least homesick, non-crying, non-bedwetting but forgot to mention VERY motion sick (yay for me!  I love throw up) friend).


This was Keagan's first year cliff jumping.  She did magnificent.


Tommy told Tag that for every time he went tubing, he had to try wake boarding.

Some father and son cliff jumping.

My little stud jumping the wake.


My little stud making a quick $20 off his dad for sitting on a block of ice for 10 minutes.  


Now to the fun part.  Cute little Hannah and her friend Stephanie were jet skiing and collided with a family in a rental boat. One ER visit, 1 CT scan and numerous x-rays later, she only ended up with a concussion, a sprained shoulder and several bumps and bruises.  She was SO lucky.


Day 3.  Laura went wake surfing and somehow she kicked the board up and it hit her in the face.  Poor babe broke her nose and needed stitches under her eye.  I told her 'I happen to like the "Cat Deeley nose-on-the-side-of-her-face look." Thanks to a little vicodin, this little trooper made the best carne asada tacos that same night.


I love all the blood.


Dr. Josh put her nose back in place, but said it will most likely need surgery and need to be re-broken.  Is it bad to say I'm just a teeny bit jealous that she gets to have a nose job??


And still, after all the dramz, she said it was "The best trip!"  I'm hoping it wasn't the vicodin talking.

She doesn't look like she needs a nose job to me- if we could all be so cute with a broken up face. This was gross by the way :)

I'm glad you found me, Leigh, cus your freekin hilarious and I haven't had a dose of funny in a while:) I can't believe Tag sat on ice for that long, do you ever call him Tommy on accident? Sounds like Lake P was full of... craziness and fun!

Ooh, poor Tag---although he's ten bucks richer now--guess no one can say he has a hot bum anymore. I love that you took pictures of the blood & gore. The one picture cracks me up because someone is also taking a picture of her on their phone at the same time. Poor girl. I'd love to look that gorgeous while having a mean black eye at the same time. Glad you guys didn't have any worse injuries. Be careful!

Oops, pardon me--twenty bucks richer!
