Land, Air Lake part II

Today was another day basking in the sun bobbing up and down on the water and having fun. As I awoke this morning my arms felt like cement, my arms were sore and aching. But I thought that I should go on the trip anyway, its not like it wouldn't be a fun trip. We left the house at 11:30 to go to lake Minnetonka. Lake M as I like to call it is one very big lake. Fourteen individual lakes connected by many different channels of water make up this lake. We started our journey at Grays Bay, one of the most popular launching spots in lake M. We started to make our way out of the bay and into the deep blue lake. I felt like Christopher Columbus seeing the west indies for the first time in 1492. As we continue our journey we past some of the most elegent, exquisite and extraordinary houses peccariesly perched on the side of the lake. One mansion included the famous Pillsbury mansion. Most of these machine's were owned by Minnesota's most successful CEO's and Presidents of big corporations. A regular sized house for 300,000 could sell between 2.5 million and 3 million on the side of the lake. But seeing the sights was not why we were here. We were there to have fun, tube, water ski and wake board. We took many pictures and I will try and post them if I can. Nathan, my brother, water skied for his very first time and stayed up for five minutes without falling. Then after trying to wake board yesterday with no success he again got up and did it for ten minutes without falling. Everybody on the boat could at least wake board except for me. All I could do was tube. But tubing even injured me. I was on the tube with my friend Patrick and after hitting a wake really hard we both fell of with my foot hitting his tooth cutting my foot. I barley could move in the water. I had to watch everybody on the boat succeed at everything I couldn't do. As the day came to an end my whole body was aching and I was tired. It was really worth it but I think I might just be resting for the rest of my trip.
