Birthday Lake Madness

Its time to pack up the car with a keg of beer and head to Lake Corsicana. There could only be one reason why to make a two day trip to this waterwold location, Eric Cumming's 30 Birthday Party.

To celebrate this milestone, Eric and his wife Kristen invited a group of fun loving individuals to spend two days at her parents lake house in Corsicana. Since Kristen loves themed parties and the fact that this particular party was on the lake, she proclaimed that this years theme would be a "Pirate Party".

The weekend had all of the ingredients of making a great weekend. We had two 3-man jet skis at our disposal, a cool pontoon boat to lounge in, and a huge grill waiting to be used. Another great feature of this past weekend was the fact that nobody was on the lake, so we could mess around on the jet skis as much as we wanted to without hurting anybody around us.

I spent about 75% of the trip in the lake and the rest of the time I was either coming in 2nd in a poker tournament or sleeping on the couch.

Even though the trip was on a Saturday - Sunday type of trip, it was tons of fun. Everybody seemed to have fun by messing around on the jet skis and swimming in the lake all day. One of the best parts of the trip was when a small group of us put some beer in a sippie cup, grabbed a bottle of champagne, and headed out to the middle of the lake on the jet skis. It was a damn good time until we got back and somebody got into trouble for going on this excursion without his wife.

Although I came back slightly sunburned, it was a great time.
