Excerpt from the Past - July 2003

Well it has been rainy her in Hewitt for going on 2 weeks now. No chance to get on the water even if we wanted to brave the 50-60 degree weather. For an update, I've all healed up from the injury suffered on the last ski trip. The gash healed up really well and the bruising on my chest only lasted a week. My jaw though still has a noticeable bump so I'm assuming I must have slightly cracked the bone and the bump is from the calcification process of bone healing. So take the warnings on skis seriously; participation in water skiing can lead to serious injury or death.

On a lighter note, here is an excerpt from the past. From Lake Tenkiller Journal #3.

We're Here! It's been a HAIL of a time! :) Havin' a blast. The tradition continues. - Jerry & Jenny (Baylie & Mollie)

Kathy to Lisa: We did it! (reference to mega brunch of eggs, fried potatoes, bacon, toast) It only takes 2 of us to replace mom! Of course, there were only 12 of us today.

By the way - who is here?

Thank you for including us in your family tradition. We had a blast. - Amezquita family (Richard, Diana, Joshua, Jonathan)

Jerry says the best campsite is 41.

TB says "I skied! But I had a problem with that quake."

Look out for tarantulas. (Jerry was standing on TOP of the table!)

Kathy forgot the Wahoo Game! Oh My!

Yes it rained the First morning. Wind, Rain & Hail...Fun. But we survived.

Another successful trip to Tenkiller. I just found out that Tenkiller officially opened in 1953 and we first came here in 1960, almost from the beginning. Several firsts this year - first snake (copperhead at boat dock), first tarantula (right through camp) and first hail storm (first day of course). See you next year. - Kat (Grandma, Mom, Aunt Kathy)

That is all that is written under 2003. Apparently we went through a few years where we were not very good about documenting the day to day activities. It gets better though starting with 2004. I'll post that year's information later this week. And since there is rain predicted through the weekend again for this week, I doubt there will be any new ski stories to share.

Start your cross training now for next year's ski season. It is only 5 months away!
