Day 3 of BEST EVER started a little later for some of us....Scott and the kids fished for some of the morning off the back of the boat. We spent most of the day laying in the water, and enjoying our last full day of sun.
About mid-day the tubing competition began. Brackets were formed, alliances were made, people were going down! After a couple hours of non-stop tubing action, a winner was crowded....haha....well 2 kinda. Brent and Jason...go figure that one!! :) They were battling to the end when Brent jumped on Jason's tube....after battling for tube control, they both went down and ended up in the water....so we called it a co-championship. There is always next year boys & girls!! Heehee!! And in case Mom is busy, I am happy to drive the boat for you again!! :)
Brent & Yukon left us during the afternoon on Sunday....very sad :( But they made it home safe, so that was good!!
Sunday evening, Ken, Nicole, Eric & Steph were in charge of the cooking...and they made some DELICIOUS burgers!! :) And Brats! That cooking competition was sooo close! Ken even tried to use some of Vince's spices to get a leg up...but no luck there! Vince still took the cooking prize...haha!
While dinner was being cooked, we had the last round of competition! This was the "artistic" round. You had to make something out of natural Lake Mead materials. We had some wonderful entries!! There was a 4 person collaboration of a Lake Mead city. Matthew dug a huge hole (Lake Mead), and Drake and Andrew built sandcastles around it (the city). And after they were done, Brianna came and squashed it (the lost Lake Mead city). Poor boys!! They never saw it coming! Haha!! Alan made a great mural on the side of the houseboat in Lake Mead mud depicting the entire trip. There was a fireworks show, a donkey, a boat pulling tubers, an American flag, and most importantly a Bud Light can. It was very cool!!! Alisa made some rock sculptures possibly depicting the formations that were found before Lake Mead became a lake (or by the people that lived in Lake Mead city...before it was squashed). Beautiful sculptures, just beautiful!! Annette did an interpretive dance from behind the hill...hmm?? Olivia put a hat in front of a dried bush...but after a few of Bill's cosmos I could not remember what it stood for?? (Or much else at that point...however pictures have helped in recalling information!!) Jason found 2 perfectly smooth rocks and formed them in the shape of a buttocks! Not sure if they were his or someone elsees??? Hmmmm!! In memory of the old MOON days, I am sure. Jason and Alisa tipped a little for Brent since he was not there to partake in the moon-rock memorial. All in all, there were some fabulous entries, and I am sure it was extremely tough for the judges!! However, the collaboration on Lake Mead city won! Whoohoo....go kids!
After dinner, Kerry made an announcement as to the winner of the overall "trophy" for the trip....appropriately name the "Calville Cup".....although the trophy was a plastic sail boat....sooooo, not sure about that one? Anyways, SCOTT was the overall winner for best everything!! Scott was the glue that kept us all together and running smoothly! Whoohoo Captain Scott! He better keep the Calville Cup safe and be ready to bring it back next year to defend his title!! :)
Unfortunately I did not get a picture of the Calville Cup...however if anyone would like to submit their photo for posting, it would be appreciated!! By that time, I was too busy drinking....camera had to be retired for fear of it ending up in the lake....sorry guys!! Lapse in my duties!!
The night closed with a little fishing off the back with Scott and the boys...mostly Drake...I think Andrew inherited his father's patience for fishing :) Drake caught a huge striper...picture below...Very nice!!
Another wonderful day....weather was perfect!!! This is why we come here....and why we hate going to bed that last night because we know we have to wake up and leave :(
