Prairie Surfing

Wakeboarding is soooo last year...it's all about lake surfing now! Here's a few pics from a recent camping/boating weekend at Gregoire lake. It's actually pretty easy to get up, staying up is the hard part.
Step one: plant your feet, hang on tight and get out of the cold water as soon as possible

next, pull yourself up on the wave

When you're in the right spot, you won't even need the rope anymore.
Throw it in the back of the boat and ride the wave!

Final step, brace for landing!

Special K makes it look easy

Summer's End Festival


Of all places to perform, REBA picked Fort McMurray. They must have gave her a truck load of money to do it, but I'm glad they did. She's a great preformer and she sounds exactly the same live as on the radio. And she played lots of old stuff too like my two personal favs, Fancy and Does He Love You. What was she doing in Ft.Mac you ask? Well it was part of the "Summers End" festival which also included Dierks Bentley and George Canyon. All three were fantastic. I had so much fun at Deirks too and he even gave me a shout out! Sure, I may have been dressed skankily and waving an inappropriately shaped cup in the air, but he still noticed! And I swear the drummer tried to throw me his drumstick too, but it didn't quite make it and some teenybopper infront of me snatched it. Oh well. It was a great weekend!


Dierks: German for cute sheep dog

United Way

Whoa, it's been a while hasn't it. I probably lost my 2 readers by now, but incase you're still hanging on, here's an update for you! A couple weeks ago was the Finning United Way fundraiser. You may recall last year's party, which was cowboy theme. This year was Carribean theme and just as fun. They raised a ton of money, Kirt won himself a new apron, and did pretty good at the blackjack table too. Too bad it wasn't real money!
