Proud papa!

Made it out early for ski club practice this morning, getting ready for next weekend's ski show. (Not skiing, just using the Barracuda to pull a kneeboarder around between the trick passes by the skiers and boarders).

Must have been a little peer pressure, because Colin, my six yr. old, decided today was the day he would ski. I, of course, had long given up this summer and no longer even put his trainers in the boat.

   We scrounge up a set of crusty trainers, rig a ski rope for the "parent" pull, and give him a spotter in the water to send him off. First try , he stands up too quick and goes right down, second try gets up for a few seconds, third try, he stays in a little crouch and ski's for half a minute down the lake!

Wish I had a camera in the boat! Way to go Colin!

That is awesome Gary!!

Enjoy the moment...

Gary,
Kick butt man... There's nothing better than to watch them get over that apprehension and go for it. Once they do, ask for "Gas Gift Cards" cause you're gonna need it !! Hahaha Give Colin huge "high fives" from the Mojo crew !!
