First Waterski Trip

So we had our first waterski trip of the season. Hopefully the first of many more, since it rained almost every weekend last summer.

Dylan was very excited to drive fast and splash off the swim deck. The real danger in letting a 2 year old drive is you have to have room for a full serpentine pattern. He turns the wheel all the way one way then back again. But he was not too happy about me taking a picture of him in his cute suit before we left. Maisy on the other hand looks adorable even though she had been crying too.
I was really surprised when Wes got right in to wakeboard. He hasn't done it much since he broke his eye in a face plant a few years ago. And I thought he'd wimp out from the cold water, seeing as how it's still so early in the year. Well the water was 71 and Wes was going for it. As a side note, I'm really impressed with Wes. He's biked to work the last couple of days in an effort to get into shape. Heaven knows it's not to help the environment. He says he needs more leg strength and endurance for wakeboarding and skate boarding, so he can do what he wants. I'm very proud, but we'll see how long it lasts.

Dylan was a cheerleader, clapping and saying, "Good job, Unc Ev." That's when he wasn't putting the moves on Evan's girlfriend Whitney.
Maisy was a trooper in a life jacket that was way too big for her, but the smallest they make. And she was definitely happier when the boat was going.

My pride couldn't let Wes get in and me sit on the boat. So I sucked it up and did a very little bit of wakeboarding too late in the day. The water was really rough, so we'll call it a practice run, seeing how it's the first trip of the season and all. Not because I had a hungry baby on the boat.

We ended the trip in the new tube so Dylan could get out and do something.He has no fear just going back and forth between Evan and I like he couldn't go flying off if we didn't have a hold of him.
