We went out with our next door neighbors, the Cannings, on Saturday. The kids loved being on the boat together. We expected it to be pretty cold and bundled up, but the weather actually warmed up pretty fast. They always love being in the bow.
We were all a little surprised when their 11-year old daughter decided she wanted to try it. She got up on the water a couple of times. She did so well.
Joyce also got out and loved it. She did great considering she had never been able to get up on skis before.
Greg gave all five kids a turn on his lap. It took some coaxing, but each of them loved it. I was a little nervous as the driver. Particularly when I saw Greg JUMP with Paige on his lap. I thought they were going to crash. It really freaked me out. Of course, he thought it was great. Paigey was a little upset at him and let him know it.
Preston cried that he didn't want to go out. The water was a little cold, but we kind of made him do it. Well, just like last time, as soon as he got out of the water, he was all smiles. He was so proud of himself and continued to tell us he is a PRO. When you ask him his name, he will tell you "Preston Gregory's Son Pro-Sky Skier Crockett". He came up with that himself. We were proud of him.

Pro sky-skiier huh? Well, I wouldn't be surprised if one day it's true...how old does he have to be before he can try it alone? 6? 8?
Ack! That one of Paige jumping freaked me out. Guess she'll be giving 'Daredevil' lessons just like her Mama did, huh?
uhm... so I am waiting for the title that says Boating with the SToddart Family. O.k. I am totally just kidding. That's pretty brave of Paige and Preston. I am impressed.
so fun!!!!! it looks like a challenge to take the kids on the sky ski with him. he will have to give the pharmacy crew a ride, too! (when and if we ever get together and go to the lake) Ok, maybe Sophea would be the only one able to get a ride. LOL!!
