A Dramamine Moment: Boating with the Fuhrimans

I haven't been on a boat in years, and since then I have had a weird incident with vertigo which has heightened my propensity to motion sickness. As a kid I always got car sick, no matter what--whether we were on a long trip or just going around the block.

Mike and Sheri kindly invited us to go boating for FHE last Monday night. So we packed up the kiddos and headed to Willard Bay with them. Mike had to come later due to work issues. Anyway, everything was great until I had been on the boat watching Corby wakeboard for a while. I got soo-o queasy I thought I was going to toss my cookies. Just call me the party-killer. Mike F. headed back to the marina, where they dropped me off on solid ground until I felt better. My Mike showed up with some Dramamine (thank heavens!), which I took. Then it was back on the boat for some tubing action--his time I only faced forward. Which is no fun when all the action is going on at the back of the boat. Anyway, I was okay for a while, but then started feeling a little sick again. The wind had kicked up and the water was pretty choppy, so we headed back to the marina--again--where we docked for a bit to eat. I took yet another Dramamine, which had kicked in by the time we went out again, and the rest of the time I was just dandy!

Our kids are really too sheltered and didn't even want to go at first, but they had such a good time that they want to go again. We appreciate the Fuhriman's for inviting us and exposing our kids to the fun of boating!

The kids and Mike had a blast riding the tube! Even Brooke, who vowed she would NOT get in the lake, finally caved to our pressure and got on. Yay Brooke! What a fun time--we hope we were good enough guests to get invited again (next time I will take my medicine before I leave the house--promise!).
