Another exciting family outing, only not so much!
When my husband purchased a jet ski two years ago, my desire to go cruising along the Manasquan River with him was less than enthusiastic, to say the least. Maybe it's because the thought of getting all wet, muddy, and cold does not appeal to me or maybe it's the fact that we have two toddlers and getting them ready to go anywhere is a daunting task. Just going outside to play requires about twenty minutes to decide what shoes they want to wear, for crying out loud! So when I finally got into the spirit of taking up my husband's offer of jet skiing with the kids, I was feeling a little bit optimistic. That morning I got the kids up, served breakfast, and spent over three-hours getting dressed, sun-screened, and preparing the Jet Ski for launch. When we finally arrived at the launching site, it took us another thirty minutes to launch the jet ski, park the truck, and get everyone into the tube. Without realizing it, we berthed in low tide and immediately sucked in rocks (jet skis are like giant vacuums), disabling the water craft. The kids, and I, were so disappointed to return home so soon. A word of advice for every mom out there: DON'T trust your husband when he tells you he knows what he is doing, and check the weather service yourself for the tides. Four precious hours wasted on a Saturday is a bummer, for sure. Next time when hubby asks if we want to go jet skiing, I'll definitely have to think twice! If you have any funny husband stories you'd like to share, I'd love to hear them. Article Resource: http://www.idmelabels.com/another-exciting-family-outing-only-not-somuch
