Wake Board Fun

The Wake Board is fun and it was a blast to see so many people get a chance to get on it and do such fun things.  I got some great pictures....enjoy!

Brett giving Keaton some tips

First Try

Keaton didn't quite get it but was quite a trooper for being almost 6.  I have a feeling he'll get it next year! 

Christian was working on switching feet!

He did it!!

Can you tell his own surprise & excitement?!?

Doing it again!

Very Proud - we were thrilled that the doctor released him to do water sports this weekend!

Mitch

Matthew had the opportunity out on it too.  He got the switching feet down good

Matthew moved on to some new moves!

Then he tried some 360's!

Almost......

Oops!!!

David

A new kind of fun with a new Tube

You all have seen a zillion pictures with the previous purple and then red round flat tube.  They're awesome.  We've also put many-a-holes in them and the most recent doesn't want to keep air in it.  So Grumps shows up with a new tube.  This one is different but really fun.  The two side seats are down in the water but the middle is more up and bouncy.  Matthew called it the "ejector seat".  What does that tell you?  So we had a lot of fun with this new tube this weekend.  It doesn't flip like the others, but let me tell you from experience that it will give you one wild and crazy ride!!!

Rebecca, Mitch & Christian give it a try!

The girls and I got out in it - Julianna wasn't as thrilled as she thought she'd be!

Grumps decided to take 2 of his daughter in laws and his #1 grandchild for a ride.  Let me just say that after this ride, I'm beginning to wonder what he thinks of his Daughter-in-Laws!!!  Good thing Blakesly was with us or I'm not sure Michelle & I would have returned in one piece!!!

Push her out, Blakesly!

Whoa!!!!!!!

Crazy




Yep - he flipped us out!  I think that this is the only time it's been done!!!  Maybe it was the extra weight in it!

Back to the kids!

Love their mouths!

Julianna with the twins!


Julianna thought she's be better off in the middle, but as you can see from this picture, she quickly learned!!

Brett's kids - Madeline, Lydian & Keaton

Kneeboarding Fun

With more people at the lake, it provided a lot more opportunity to be on the boat and see others on the lake.  It was fun for me to go take pictures because some of these guys can really do amazing things.  Granted, it had been quite a while for some of them, but these boy brothers/cousins spent many summers together on this lake and so it was fun to watch them get back on it!

Mitchell kneeboarding at sunset.  Isn't this a great picture?!?

Mitchell




Amazing!!!!

This is Mitch - following in his Dad's footsteps (or kneeboard!)



Christian isn't as much of a fan of the kneeboard, but was at least willing to get out there and play!
