I think I have a new favorite watersport... wakesurfing. I convinced Dustin to get me a board and we tried it out for the first time this weekend. It's a little harder than wakeboarding, but once you get it it's a blast. I was baffled at first by how to stay behind the boat without a rope, but once you "catch the wave" your board just pushes you along.
My favorite part of the weekend had to be when Vienna and Ainsley fell off the tube for the first time. Poor girls were both crying after they went under water, but afterward they were both talking it up like they were big stuff the rest of the weekend. Vienna is all GIRL... she just made it back into the boat and while still crying, looked at her mom and said "mom, are my earing stickers still on?" Ash said "yes they are"... then she said "yeah, but are they still sparkly?" While that conversation was going on, Ainsley was describing to me how she had her mouth and eyes open and the water "just jumped right in". After realizing going under the water wasn't so bad (she didn't even lose her sparkly earings) Vienna decided to try wakeboarding with Uncle Aaron.

Oh my gosh...you are amazing. Do you start with a rope to get going and then let go? Was Dustin impressed? I can't believe how big Ashley's girls are getting! Too cute! Before you know, Maddie will be out there :)
Yeah, you start with a rope, then let go. I think he was impressed until he saw our neighbor got it on one of his first tries too. :) I can't wait to get Maddie out there... hopefully she likes the water or we may have some summers full of bribes and tears :)
Sign me up. I want to try that - it looks so much fun!! But harder than the board?? Hummmm...maybe a few glasses of wine first!
