Jet Ski

Today Grandma Jan took her Jet Ski out for the first time. We all had a wonderful time!! Thank you so much for asking out for the maiden voyage. I drifted off for a nap at one point and when I woke up something was wrong with the jet ski. I still don't know exactly what happened or even if it is a big deal but right now the jet ski needs to see the doctor I am for sure.

To start the day Grandma Jan got a quick lesson from Jeremy on all the basics.

They took a quick little trip around the cove to end the lesson.

Away they goHere they come. Let the full speed party begin.

After a cruise around the cove and edge of the windy lake we got out the tube. It was awesome. Jeremy and I were sure Lucas would love it. He was really more nervous than I thought he would have been. I went over the hand signals with him. I covered the big ones-go faster-stop-ok got it lets go. Ummmm, mom what is slow down. Oh Lucas, you don't need slow down you will only want to go faster. NO I have to know slow down. Ok here you go. And yes he used it time and time again. Should have passed on the faster sign-never once used that one.

I wanted to show him how much fun a tube really is and how you can get so scared of falling out but really since you are sitting inside a donut with a bottom you never do. Ummm, well that did not exactly turn out how I had planned. I flipped over the tube when Lucas and switched so I could ride and I did not realize that our tube you can't flip over. Yeah, I know they really do mean read all the directions. So I fell off in 1.1 second. I then flipped it over after gave it a whirl. Lucas was so nervous yelling at Jeremy the entire time as he was the spotter to make sure everything was okay. Poor guy. We will break him in. Hey Grandma, lets hop on a drive away as fast as we can.

We decided to let Addi and Lucas ride together. Lucas was extremely protective of her-holding her so tight the entire time. Addi loved it. Loved every second of her ride. She wanted to go faster and faster. She would yell out to you-see you morrow as we would drive past the shore.

This would be the place I put in tons of pictures of the kids in the tube and their smiling or freaked out faces but you see I did not take my camera down to the water so no pictures for here. Char took lots so I will have to get them from her. Thank goodness for Char!!

In the end Jeremy got towed back to the dock and we headed back to the farm but it really was a blast and I hope we can go again soon. Actually we all hope we can go again soon. Addi asked if we are going to go lake 'gan morrow?? Lucas said he would try the tube again if we could just go back next week.

I think it was a pretty awesome Father's Day for Jeremy since the other option was a day at The K and the Royals lost so I say Jeremy came out a winner!!!
