Trinity
On Sunday, June 14th, a nice hot summer day, I got up early to finish my packing and get all my food together. I was getting ready for a week of camping up at Lake Trinity with three of my good friends and one of their moms. Jen and Jo came to my house earlier to help my prepare the food. We were expecting Kate along with her mom to arrive around 8:30, but really turned out that they showed up around 9:00. As they arrived we all scrambled to get our bags and load everything up in the Chinook!! (Kate's mini motor home!!!) The coolest ride around! After getting everything situated we began our journey!! Well we didn't start it quite yet, we still had a few stops ahead of us before we were actually on our way!! The first stop was at a safeway in Rocklin, Evonne, Kate's mom had to pick up a few extra things to hold us through the week. Once we left there we had to make one last stop at a boat store to find the best tube for boating. We found it, and enormous tube that four people can go on!! It was perfect, there were four of us and a four person tube!!! What more do you need??? We left there around 10:00 and headed out to the freeway! This was the actual beginning of our excursion!!!
Today was the day we were going to get up and say we know how to wake board! We got our wake up call around 6:30, we would have all jumped up but we couldn't even move!! We were all so sore that it took about ten minutes for us to actually get out of our tent! I seriously have never been so sore in my entire life!! I was happy in a way though because when I am sore I know it is because I worked out muscles that I haven't worked out in a long time, but I think I discovered some muscles I never knew I had!! We fiinally made our way down to the lake and out in the water. It was really not a good thing that we consumed so much food because we were now on a very windy road. I happened for like four days, but then it finally went away and we still do not know for sure what it was!! Oh there is one other thing I would change, the third day we were there we had a mud fight!! It was so dirty and gross, but it was fun. Kate had warned us that these people were the craziest drives ever , but we didn't really believe her. v, games, everything you needed to entertain four girls!! Everything was going great until about the last 45 minutes of the driving part! We had ate so much that I'm sure we all gained at least ten pounds from all the eating we did. Trying wasn't as easy as we thought it would be. All of us tried but Kate was the only one to succeed! We were getting tired so we thought we would just go tubing instead since that doesn't use as many muscles and we actually knew how to hold on, so we thought! Ron's boat was having troubles pulling us so we all pilled into the Violett's, which are some friends of Kate's family! They had two tubes that could each hold two people so this was going to be even better because all four of us could go out at the same time and we weren't stuck in the boat watching! We paired up and jumped into the tubes and were getting ready for our lives to be over. Well not literally but just them trying to get around each other every two minutes was a bit difficult because the Chinook only had a one person hall going down the middle of it, so it was a tight squeeze!! We finally arrived around 3:00 and met up with about five or six other family's. We headed up around 7:00 to eat, and reminisce about all the fun we had today!! After we ate we thought we should take some showers, but it wasn't as easy as it sounded. she was right!! They had a death wish for us or something because they were going so fast I seriously thought I was going to die when I flew off! I was the worst at holding on to the tubes and was always the first to fly off!! Although it was scary it was the most fun I have ever had!!! We tubed for about six hours straight taking turns. The camp sights didn't have showers so we had to go down to the lake and use it as a bath tub! This was pretty interesting, we had to walk down this very steep hill to get to the water carrying a four person tube and all our bathing stuff!!! Once we made it down there we grabbed all the boat seats we could and floated more then half way across the lake to secure the raft to a booey and began bathing! The water was so cold that once we shaved our legs the hair was already as long as it was before we shaved by the time we got to shore!! This was a very difficult task, but we did it every day so by the last time we had it down to and art! We know what to do like we know how to tie a shoe!! Again the next morning we woke up early to head out onto the lake.
