We can promise to be better, but, that might be tough. I'll drop a few short posts to catch up (hopefully), and then get on with more current things.
Here's one from August.
We were invited for a Saturday afternoon boating. It was an invite from an acquaintance of Zach's that he met through soccer, named Tyler. He was at the time an acquaintance, but now a good friend. We did not know exactly what to expect, nor exactly what to bring.
Whoa! Way cool.
They have a house that opens out the back to a Marina; not a ton-of-boats type of marina, but a dock from their house (and each house around this island). The dock opens onto a bay (that opens to the ocean, but who needs that!). You see, they have a nice speed boat, and the pictures tell it all. What a blast!
There are the boys,Tyler (standing) Zach (to the left), and Bobby and Michael, loaded on a floating, spinning thing, towed by the boat. They are already being pulled through the boat's wake.
Gettin' wet:
So, the idea is that you stand up on this thing, and hold on (for dear life), then Uncle Tre guns the boat, and also serpentine's it, so you start 1) spinning like crazy and 2) are flying back and forth across the wake. So, it is water skiing, but with four people latched together, AND turning around as fast as you can, AND bumping up and down with the swells of the wake.
Let me give you a little better sense of this (if I can upload this.....):
Then this sequence happens:
So, what do you do next? Scramble back on and go again, of course!
Not just the "boys" did this, of course. We even got Abby on:
The family is ready:
We've launched:
We are spinning:
We're in the "thick" of it:
Holy cow! I can't believe that you got Abby to go on that! And there was water involved all over the place, too. It looks wild.
