The Jungbauer Family Website

Discovery Girl

Maybe no one noticed, but back in April an "internet predator" hit our website. Here's what happened:

Hi,
This may seem like a strange request, but I just happened upon your web site while searching for info (including images) on girls and wakeboarding. I was really taken with the photo of Rachel and wondered if you'd mind letting us use it to illustrate a brief piece on girls and "adventure sports" in our "Oddz n Endz" section. It would be small--the whole article is less than half a page, and I can't offer $$ compensation (sorry--we're not cheap, just independently owned & operating on a shoestring still), but I'd be happy to send you copies of the magazine when it's published. It would be in the June/July issue, which goes to the printer very soon, so I'd need to know right away. (I apologize for the rush--the article was a last minute addition to the issue.)

If you're not familiar with Discovery Girls, we're a national magazine for 8-12 year old girls with a circulation over 130,000. We're very wholesome--we've won Parents' Choice awards the past 3 years, and an iparenting award in 2004. I'd be happy to send you copies of our latest issues, but I actually need to know whether or not it's all right to use the picture before I'd be able to get them to you. However, you can check out our web site at discoverygirls.com.

You can reach me at sarah@discoverygirls.com.

Thanks for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Now Rachel has decided to go into show bizness and is the newest member of the Lake City Skiers!!!

On the first day of practice they immediately taught her to do a "dock hop" start, slalom, climb the pyramid and finish with a beach landing.

Doesn't he look good?!?

Mermaid Festival

I bet most of you missed the annual Mermaid Festival in North Webster this week. It's really a pretty big time for a tiny little town. Sarah and Rachel are still sheltered enough to enjoy the rides at the Midway.

The week of festivities culminated in a parade that lasted over an hour. The girls were the banner carriers for the YMCA float. (Don't they look excited?!) We tried the get the Y Guy (aka Steve) to sing and dance to Y-M-C-A but I'm sure Sarah and Rachel would have disowned him forever if he had.

Happy Father's Day

The girls made a picture frame for their Daddy and also gave him a new lawn chair for Father's Day.

(Sarah was kind enough to stand on the lower step to make her Daddy look taller.)

Shadow gave his Daddy a big wet kiss for Father's Day.

... and a hug too!

Footin' fetish

This is my idea of a foot spa!

Guaranteed to give you the best foot massage money can buy --- or the most reknowned barefooter in history, Ron Scarpa, wouldn't drive one!

WHOA!!!!

CAUTION!!! DANGER!!! WARNING!!!

Please sit down before you read any further!!!

If you didn't already notice, I changed religion! After years of agonizing, my Nautique freak days are over and it's Malibu instead. (I'm certain my gray hairs have doubled because of this stressful dilema.)

For those of you who are clueless as to the magnitude of my Malibu moment, it would be like the Pope changing from Catholocism to Buddhism . . . . like my dad changing from Mac to IBM . . . . like my husband changing from Nike to Addidis!!!!

NOW do you get it?!?!

So . . . . . since I made a leap of faith, I decided that I should let the Almightly Barefooter himself, help me break it in.

Ron Scarpa was here for a week-long barefooting clinic again this year.

Here he is driving my boat =:o)

. . . and being goofy with my girls . . .

Even Sarah and Rachel enjoyed the "foot spa" with Scarpa.

Here's Sarah barefooting in "the swing."

Rachel shows off her form on "shoe skis."

Relaxing (and warming up) between sets.

Now whatchya doin' Rae?!?

When we broke for lunch, Rachel decided she wanted Ron's autograph.

Rachel has barely take the shirt off since!

I guess we're all a bit goo-goo over Ron, but as tempting as it sounds, I promise I won't shave my head! (Like my buddy Bob)

I got an autograph too --- when Ron came over to personally adjust the Scarpa barefoot plate on my boat.

Now I have a Limited Edition Ron Scarpa Signature Series Malibu Response LXI.

Dance Recital 2005

Another day at the spa

Not bad for amatuers!!!

Here are the spa queens, Anne, Renee and Sarah all dressed up for the Graduation Ball at Culver Academy. Anne's sister just graduated from Culver and was kind enough to allow her little sister's friends to join the celebration too.

The day at the "spa" was actually after the Ball --- proof that these ladies DO NOT NEED a spa!!!

School's out for summer

. . . so the girls decided they deserved a day at the spa!!!

Sarah enjoys a manicure. Another potato chip, Madam?

Anna relaxes in the foot spa while waiting for her facial to reverse the aging process.
