The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

First, I have to give a BIG HUGE thank you to Jeff and Shelly for letting the chaos come to their home and their lake. Not only were they nice enough to let us come and eat...they took us out on a fabulous boat ride that included tubing and skiing. Isaac was convinced that he could ski, so Mr. Jeff gave him a quick lesson in the yard. Yes, a little white trash aka Camp Chaos style trying to teach your child to ski while hooked to a lawn tractor. They kept telling the kids that if they could do it on the lawn, they could do it on the water...








Allison actually did better than Isaac keeping her butt under her.




Isaac had a hard time keeping his legs together but knew he could do it:)!

To the lake...to live in the association, you get private use of this lake...very warm...very clean...


Thanks to Mr. Tony for wearing dry clothes into the lake to help my son get started. In just a few seconds...
HE WAS UP!!!! THE GOOD...


He did so good!!! He actually skied for a good few minutes and then fell. No one told him that he would go under and to let go of the rope. Needless to say he got drug a little under water...THE BAD.


Alli decided if Iz could do it, so could she. Mr Tony again went into the water and assisted. She was happy ready to go when THE UGLY hit...she no longer wanted to do it...right at the same time the boat took off. Mr Tony to the rescue who went under water to get her (right as my camera ran out of battery). Everyone was OK and Allison decided that tubing was more her style...less effort!!!

My baby girl, watching taking it all in. LOVED riding in the boat...tubing was fun...not even going to attempt skiing!!!









I l♥ve this picture of my men!! Both of them are so genuinely happy and loving life!!!



One last picture of my handsome man!!!

What a great way to get the kids used to the feeling of the waterskis too - I think that is very smart! what a great way to spend a summer day...

I never knew you could ski on the grass!!! Might have to try that one of these days.
Looks like everyone had a great time.
Next time I expect to see pictures of you out on the water skiing.
