Waterskiing with our Mechanic




This is our diesel mechanic and well yes, Todd has become quite good friends with him. So much so that we have gone waterskiing with them twice. Turns out he has waterskied a time or two and was pretty fun to watch on the wakeboard. He did a switch-a-roo and it was pretty cool!




The fun part about this is that his wife, Jackie, and I get along well too and she has the exact same due date as me! It has made for some pretty fun conversations! The water was pretty rough but luckily her and I got some of the best of the day! We kneeboarded together since I convinced her that the doctor would approve!




Unfortunately the water was so bad for most all of the day that we ended up floating around a lagoon/cove thing that we found. It was pretty fun though and it turned out one of the places was just a mudbog! It was a little startling, sinking down to your thighs in mud! Of course the guys were pretty macho about it and it was hilarious!



We also paddled around on the kneeboards and their daughter, Sydney, thought that was pretty fun!


When we finally decided to try some waterskiing again the water was much, much too choppy so we got out the tube and Ryan and Jackie rode around for awhile.

Unfortunately they got thrown off!




Sydney also got to ride but I never was sure whether or not she was happy about that!



Since Ryan had grown up around boats we let him drive for awhile and Todd and I tubed. It was pretty stinking fun, I was pretty certain I was going to get thrown any second! Thanks Ryan.


Signing off!
