Christmas in July

We've been going to the lake a lot lately. It's usually a long car ride to get there so we try to keep the kids entertained with some music. They have a favorite play list. Included are some old favorites like Jessie's Girl, Let's Here it for the Boy, and Axel F, also some new hits such as Viva La Vida, Apologize, and I'm Feelin' Good by Michael Buble.

The list is a good one, with one very weird exception. Jonathan insists that the Christmas classic Sleigh Ride is played multiple times on every trip. I have to say, it's a little strange to pull up to the lake, in a swimming suit, the sun beating down on me, the smell of sunblock in my nose, having the words, "outside the snow is falling and friends are calling yoo-hoo," ringing in my ears. It's stranger still to have the song stuck in my head as I'm zipping across the lake on my gas powered "water sleigh." It's truly a new definition of Christmas in July.

P.S. Don't let the picture above fool you. Jonathan is scared to death of the waverunners. Won't ride them at all.
