A Perfect Morning on the Lake

We took a short weekend trip up to Dave's parent's home in Oroville and had a great time with Mom and Dad up there! Saturday morning around 10 we headed out to the lake and NO ONE was there! there were maybe 12 trucks or so parked in the lot. So we had the whole lake to ourselves! It was great! Dave took the first ski run and tried out his 2 new slalom skiis he just scored from craigslist. They were great! Then K-Dawg (Dave's Dad, age 60, and grandfather of 19) took a run out on his ski! He hadn't skiied for over 4 years and got up the first time! Needless to say, he was STOKED!

I tried my best at skiing slalom. I didn't grow up boating and the only times I've gone are with Dave's fam, so I can double ski OK. I tried a good 8 or 9 times and the last time I got up for 12 seconds! It was great! :) by then my arms and legs were shot. It was so fun. Ebay and Lils just kept jumping off the back of the boat. E kept doing a "booty-stomp" which is a move from Mario Bros. It was pretty funny! And Lils, our fearless one, was doing back flips and front flips off of the boat. She also did quite a bit of kneeboarding. It helps when you're so light you just start out strapped in the board and hang on!

I just love this shot of Baby No and her Daddy, cute!
Ebay doing the thumbs-up, meaning "Go faster, Grampa!" Lils was bored, she wanted some real speed!

Getting tired after a full morning! What a fabulous time! Thanks, Grampie!
