Our 5-Year Anniversary

Well, it's been 5 years since that rainy March 17th, 2007, and we are at least 5 times happier now than we even were that day!

We celebrated by spending the day together and doing some fun stuff. First we had a pancake breakfast at home (see last pic... sorry they're out of order- Blogger is mixing things up).

Then we headed off to the cable ski park for some wakeboarding.


If you've never seen/heard of this before, it's basically a big man-made lake in the middle of some farm fields. The lake's perimeter is about 500m and has a cable going around it, about 20 feet above the water. The cable moves in a circular direction and has 8 equally-spaced tow-ropes hanging down from it, which you hold onto and wakeboard around the lake.

There's also a bunch of jumps and ramps you can go off of, but we decided to play it safe for our first experience. Every time you fall, you have to swim to the edge, then walk to the starting point and wait in line for the next available rope to come along... so you don't want to fall too much or else you'll waste your time waiting in line.

After wakeboarding we went to see a movie called Safe House with Denzel Washington... it was good, but pretty violent. If you like Mission Impossible type of movies (but with way more shooting), you'd like this one. Normally we would have spent the entire day outside, but it was raining, so this was a good option.


After the movie we went out for dinner to a Thai restaurant, courtesy of Andrew's parents (thanks, Mum and Dad!). We hadn't had Thai food since Thailand a couple months ago, and it was just as good as we remembered it... yum!
