Date NIght??

Last night, I went to help my friend set up a wedding, and was home by 9. Josh and I talked about playing a game or something when I got home, but we ended up study the Ohio Boaters Education material. Why you ask?? Because we got up enough courage to ask my great uncle if we could borrow his jet ski for our vacation, and he said YES!! WOOHOO. Gonna be so much fun.

See, our family goes to Michigan to a cabin on a lake. Since my grandpa died we haven't had a motor boat of any kind, which sucks on a big lake. We usually sit on our little beach and watch everyone else have fun. So this year we get to join in the chaotic whirl of boats and jet ski's!

To get a Ohio boater's education card you have to read over a whole bunch of material you will never need. There isn't just a section or test for jet skiers, nope, we have to learn everything about every boat and every situation. Such a waste of time. The test is 75 questions, and about 30 of them we will need for the lake we are on. You have to pay $15 for the test (even if you fail) which we did the first time=( So a $15 dollar certification turned into a $30 one, due to stupid misleading questions and us clicking the wrong answer on a few. The test took over an hour each time, and we still have to take another one for me. We are doing this as a team effort you see! It usually works out good, I know what he doesn't and he knows what I don't!!! And we also have to get my 2 brothers to pass this test!

Oh well, a little work for a lot of fun!

So that was our date night, sitting at our computer in the basement sipping on some Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade (only 1 each...don't worry!)

What did you do?

Hi, came to visit this blog now... :o) Thanks for leaving a comment over on mine.

And to answer your question ~~
We took the boys to a local pizza place to eat in (we don't do that much with THREE BOYS...lol) and when we got home we found that Caleb was picked to try out for an All-Star Travel team. WOO-HOO! Good start to the week-end!
