Now, the last time that I went wakeboarding was 4 years, 2 kids, and whoknowshowmany pounds ago... I was thrilled when I was able to get up the on the first try, but I quickly realized just how much of a difference time makes!!! Certainly wasn't as easy as it used to be, but I had a great time!
Then, it was Dave's turn! He did great and I was so excited that he had a great time! He had only been wakeboarding once before, and wasn't really able to get up. He definitely was more successful this time!
I love the look of intense concentration on his face, as well as the trying-not-to-smile smile he has once he realized that he was up and doing great!
When we were done we headed back to our cove and Jack, my mom and I jumped in to swim! When it was time to go back to shore so that I could feed Sam, Jack didn't want to get back in the boat, and rather than make a big deal out of it, he and my mom swam the whole way back to our beach camp! It was a long way for a 3 year old, and I was impressed that he did it!
When we got back to the beach it was time for lunch! While Jack was eating I noticed that he was being a little silly, 'driving' his sandwich around and making noises like a car or a motorcycle... when I asked him what he was doing he said "Mom, this is not my sandwich, it's my jet-ski!"
And of course, that meant that after lunch he wanted to go for a ride on grandma's jet-ski again!
They were gone for so long! While he and grandma were gone, Sammy had a great time playing on the shore with daddy and me!
When Jack and grandma got back from riding the jet-ski, jack came up to me and said "Mom, I have something to tell you! We named the island [that they had been making lap after lap around] We named it Locomotive!" You can take the kid away from his trains, but you can't take the trains away from the kid! Or, is it the other way around...?
Nice story! LOVE those boys!
