Another Great Day!!!

It dawned beautiful blue skies, and high 50's temps. But it warmed up as the sun rose. Until the clouds moved in. And it's been overcast ever since, and low 70's. The humidity is less, too. Ahh.

Frank was up and about--actually gone when I was up having breakfast. He came back somewhere about 11:15 with a new tow rope and more groceries. He's the man.

After the youngers had their breakfast, and cleaned up, they were ready to go in the boat. The Twister towable has another hole somewhere--they decided they would water ski.

We loaded up and went to the GC to pick up Polly--she's a good co-pilot, and I like having her in the boat (thanks, Polly). We headed out to open water.

Frank was first up. He got up, took a bit getting accustomed to being on skis again, then started cutting back and forth, showing some of what he can do. Trisha was next up.

She was up the first try today. Second try, she had a ride, and was moving back and forth across the wake. Awesome.

Travis was next, after Trish tipped over sideways and caught her shin with the edge of the ski. (ouch)

He tried several times, and was up, though didn't get a ride. He'll get up next time, more than likely.

It sprinkled a few drops. We were done anyway. Polly went back to the GC; the young'ens asked to go around the lake, so we did.

We all helped put our foods together and had a great lunch. They had a great rest of the afternoon fooling around; I spent time outside in the bug-free zone.

Come dark, Frank put more food together, and they ate again. I got a fire started--we've got a few hours before the thunderstorms come in.

T&T will be leaving in the morning. I hope they've had a good visit.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.
