aj tries water skiing

we found out when we got here, that the campground offers free youth water skiing. i mentioned it to aj, honestly thinking that he would have no desire to do it. he said he thought he might.

we got up at 7:00 yesterday morning, for the 7:15 start time, and he said he didn't think he wanted to. i was fine with it, and told him that if we wanted, we could just walk over and watch the kids who were doing it.

so we did.

after watching, i thought for sure he wouldn't want to. it looked a little intimidating, if you ask me.
so last night, as i was putting him to bed, i said that i wasn't going to wake him up, but if he got up and still wanted to go, i would take him.

he got up at 6:45...(ugh)
so i took him.

he only tried it a couple of times, but he said he really liked it, and wants to try again when they do it on friday.
i was so proud of him for even going out there and trying!!

here's a little video of him trying it out

  1. How cool!

    Most of my kids love to waterski, while some just prefer to innertube.

    A couple of the Big Kids now like to wakeboard.

    We usually get invited to spend a few days (or a week) at a friends' cabin on the lake every summer. Still waiting for our invite this year. :)

    Be BLESSED!
