Sunshine with Sadie: "You have a really pretty ear."

On Saturday, June 28, I went along with some friends to help an up and coming political candidate....Bill Dew. His son Jake was in my old ward, and invited me to come along for a parade and then an afternoon of boating on Utah Lake.
The parade was held in Lehi and it was extremely fun waving to everyone as Jake and I walked by pulling a handcart. If you get a chance, visit Bill Dew's website...www.billdew.com
Anyway, I degress. After the parade we loaded up with some of Jakes relatives and went to Utah Lake to do some tubing and swimming. One of the cousins brought his friend, Ben, who offered to ride the 2 man inner tube with me. I crawled on, got myself positioned on one side and prepared myself for the onslaught of water that was to come. Ben eagerly climed on, and instead of positioning himself next to me, proceeded to climb right on top of me. His words, "this will help you stay on longer and won't wear your arms out." I was a bit apprehensive about this, but didn't have a chance to say anything as the boat immediately started pulling away and off we went. Regardless of what Ben said, I still had to hold on tightly and realised that I have muscles in places I never knew existed.
After a couple runs on the inner tube I was exhausted and happily placed my head down for a rest while people climbed on the other inner tubes. Ben was now laying next to me with his face about 4 inches away from myne. He looked at me and said, "has anyone ever told you, you have a really pretty ear." Yep, you read that right. I've got a pretty ear! LOL Ben then lifted my head up looked at my other ear and told me that they were indeed gorgeous. Now I've been told before that I've got pretty eyes, skin, etc., but never have I heard of a pretty ear! For once I was at a loss for words, and thankfully Will, one of the Dew cousins shouted out...."AWKWARD" and the boat took off again for another relentless beating.
The rest of the day was alot of fun, despite riding one of the inner tubes and feeling as if my bum was smacking into cement. I've made some great new friends, and I look forward to helping with the rest of the Dew Congressional Campaign.
Enjoy the pictures...
