Yvonne's sister Betty and her family have a nice ski boat and the kids had a ball wakeboarding and tubing behind it. When we weren't on that boat, we were hanging out at the houseboat and I still feel like I am rocking with the waves as I sit at my desk and type
Anyway, on to a few images from the weekend.
Nick learned how to wake board on Saturday. He was a pretty quick learner, but was initially pretty cautious and did not want to go across the boat's wake. By Sunday though, he was getting braver.
Sarah watched Nick wake board on Saturday and had no interest. By Sunday, though, she knew she could do it and she did. She got up her first time and did great. She is a toughie.
And then we did some "hotdogging" on a large hotdog tube. Sarah gave it a try on Saturday, but the bigger kids like to go fast and Sarah was not so keen about that. I've got to agree with her. After about 20 minutes of shooting images out of the back of the boat and try to stay focused on the riders, I needed to head back to solid ground to give my stomach a rest. You can see in the first image below, Sarah is not too excited about the ride.
And finally, while I was on shore resting my stomach, I made a few new friends. These guys pretty much wandered right up to me and camped out for a while.
And, thanks to all of our Vets out there for serving on this beautiful Memorial Day weekend.

Great water pictures - looks like lots of fun - to watch. I don't think I'd try some of those things. Sweet duck and ducklings picture too. Enjoy all the summer fun that you can. Love, Aunt Fran
I don't think I'd try ANY of those things! Jennifer got me to try tubing once! Once and only once. Never again. I'll watch the ducks. Aunt Joanne
Looks like a blast! We will have to have a summer vacation in Knoxville soon. My guess is Malcolm would love being out on the water, and Eliana would want in on the fun too (as much as a toddler can do so...). Great pics, BTW.
