Camping and Tournaments

This weekend was Jacob's wakeboarding tournament at the lake. It was so much fun! This is his second year to compete in it and he has been the youngest by at least 4 years in his division. It started on Friday and he rode really good. He made it to the finals which was on Sunday. After the tournament on Friday we went to the lake so Jacob could practice a little and met up with some friends there and the kids had fun tubing/swimming/wakeboarding. Saturday we decided to camp out where the tournament was. We dropped off all of our stuff to save a spot and then went back out on the lake. Saturday is when the really good guys ride so we anchored in the middle and watched the tourn. while the kids swam. My sister, brother-in-law, and their kids were with us. We finally got the tent put up and once everyone wound down we went to bed. Wow, who would have known it would be cold to sleep in a tent in the middle of July? We didn't think do, that's why we didn't bring blankets to cover up with, just to lay on. That was a miserable night! The sun couldn't come up fast enough. Jake rode Sunday morning and all of our family came out to watch him. He did awesome! He landed his dock start (which he fell on Friday) and also landed his wildcard jump at the end. We were so proud of him. He really tried hard and it showed. They did the trophies last night and he placed second. He was a little disappointed he didn't place first, but I think he is really proud of himself as well. So now, today we are recovering. The kids are absolutely exhausted, I am pretty sunburned on my back, and daddy had to go back to work :(.
