Holiday Boating With Karlton

That's their "celebrity" name, Karlee and Colton = Karlton!  Wes and I took them out for a quick morning of 4th of July boating before the lake got too crowded.  And boy was it crowded by the time we left just before noon!  Colton showed us some wake boarding skills first:

My batteries were dying and I was having a hard time catching the air pics.  This is as close as I got!  Sorry Colton!

Is that the genetic "tongue" concentration?

Then it was time for Karlee to practice her slalom skills.  We decided to try something new to help her.  We got her and Colton both out there, Colton on 2 skis so he could help steady Karlee.  I think it helped a little.  Karlee actually stayed up for a couple of minutes!!

She pulled up, no problem!

Look at that face!

She's doing it!  Wahoo!!

We threw out another ski to see if Karlee could drop one.

She gave it a good try!

Look at the guns on these two.  Seriously.  That is a fit and fab couple.

Team building exercises?

I love how he's giving her advice out there.

Aw, dang.  But it's a good crash photo!

Karlee had never tried knee boarding before, and she loved it!  She's a natural!  She even landed a 180, holy cow , we were impressed!

Are you sure you've never done this before?

Here she is attempting the 180!

Love that smile!

She had the 180 right after this.  She couldn't hold on for the full 360 though, darn.  What fun!  Thanks guys for a great holiday!!
