The boys decided they wanted to try waterskiing this week when we had our boat out on Grindstone. We borrowed skis from Sue, and they were her Dad's skis, at least 60 years old. (I think I even learned on those skis!) The backs were rotted off of the boots and they were adult skis. Despite our lack of fancy equipment, Kyle mastered skiing. Ryan also tried, but he was unable to get up on those skis. We will look for some smaller skis for the boys to use! Kyle was so proud of himself - he did great!!! I also got up on skis for the first time in about 20 years, but there is no photographic evidence of that, so I guess you'll just have to take my word for it! :)
Sue helping Kyle:
First time was a short run, the next were much longer!
Second try:
NOW he's got the hang of it and is enjoying himself!
Sue helping Ryan:
He needs smaller skis or the bar that holds them together!!! Without a back on the boot, it is just too difficult to keep them together!
