One of my favorite memories is of a family reunion when I was 12. My family camped out at a near by lake and my brother brought his boat. He had a tube that you could lay on while the boat dragged it. Since I was the youngest, they decided to let me go first. I positioned myself on the tube, which looked like a big donut, and gave them the thumbs up off we went. Everything was great for a while until my brother decided to go into rougher water. I notice the boat was being tossed up higher than normal and it wasn’t long before the tube started going higher when I hit a wave. All of a sudden I hit a wave that took the tube and me in the air so high that it seemed I was flying. It seemed like I was in the air for at least a minute, but I’m sure it was only seconds. When I landed in the water, still on the tube, I couldn’t believe it. In shock, I rolled off the tube while the boat was still dragging me and skidded across the water. Finally, bobbing in the water celebrating my dare devil feat, I realized my bathing suit was missing. The boat was getting closer to pick me up and I was getting nervous. I looked around and then to my right I saw my red trunks, scooped them up, and put them on just as the boat pulled up to me. I’ll never forget all the freedom I had in just a few minutes on a lake. Those were good times.
So now it’s your turn. Leave us those random memories that you still smile about when you think of them. God bless.
