He's up! Whoo hoo!

Getting Hudson ready to try the "surfboard". That is what he calls it. In reality it is a piece of plywood with a rope attached to it. This is what my dad learned to ski on before water skiing. We had kind of forgotten about it, until our neighbor brought down their old one. So with a little persuasion Hudson tried it.
He got up on his first try. Keep in mind we pull him behind our little "rin, tin, tin" aluminum boat with a 15 hp motor. I learned to ski behind the same boat. It's perfect for kids.

So proud of him!

There he goes....down and back & round again.

He's been everyday since he learned. He loves it & I'm so thankful. Ravenna on the other hand has no desire except to hold the flag in the boat.

Feeling pretty confident, so decided to wear his hat & shades. Looking good! He hasn't fallen yet, we shall see how he handles that. We are so proud of our little 4 year old! Way to go Hudson!

WE totally need that!! Give me more details on that ...

Wish we could come see you and let the kids try that - they would love it! We practice wakeboarding but this way they could really do it - instead of pretending! GREAT idea!
