Saturday, Jeremy took us out on his boat on Saylorville Lake. It was a perfect day to be on the boat - calm waters, warm, but not the pounding sun and wasn't too busy. We spent a couple hours out on the lake. I love being on the lake. I've had some really great times with a few of my friends out on the lake. Then, I went and did a little explorative shopping. I checked out a few little shops in historic uptown of Ankeny, the Sportsman's Warehouse on Oralabor Rd, and the Funky Zebras fashion boutique for fun. Ended up my shopping trip with a score of a necklace and dress. Then, we just chilled out on the driveway with some of the neighbors, which was fun.Saturday night, Jeremy whipped out the traeger and grilled us some BBQ ribs and chicken wings, both very good. Also, got a phone call from my good friend Cassie. It was really great chatting with one of my college friends for a while.
Here's a photo of Cassie and I from our most recent semester at school:
Sunday, we all went to the Cascade Falls Water Park for a couple hours. The girls had fun in the kiddy area. We all floated down the Lazy River, and I went down a few of the big kid slides all by myself ;-) I even went down the toilet bowl, which was interesting. Figured I might as well try it since it was there. Jeremy grilled burgers, and Kari made corn and macaroni casserole. Then, we finished up the weekend by going to their favorite ice cream place - Van Dee's in Johnston. Oh my goodness! May just be some of the best ice cream I've ever had. I had a a good ole vanilla ice cream cone. I didn't have my camera with me, so next time I'm there I'll take a picture of it. They serve the cones with two eyeballs. It's sorta their signature. The girls were telling me about these eyeballs on our way there. It was a deliciously whipped cone and a fun little place to be. I'm going back one of these days.
Overall a mighty fine weekend in the life of Jessica Boschen.
