Eddie got a great Father's Day gift...teaching Cameron & Cooper how to waterski. Cameron decided he'd rather wakeboard. He went off the barefoot boom which is a great learning tool. (Yes Eddie put on a great barefoot show for us). It keeps them close to the boat which makes them feel safer and is easier on the throat for hollering directions. He liked it and did a great job - he just needs to get used to holding his breath when he falls and the waves come over his head, that part he didn't like.
Boarded up and ready to go
Oh yeah...he's got it
Cooper went behind the boat. The boom is hard for him to hold onto. Eddie holds one end of the rope and can help keep the proper tension on it. It also keeps him a little closer so they don't feel like they are way back there. Once he's done they both just let go. Cooper did great - he didn't even get his hair wet!
Getting the skis on for the first time
Ready to go
and he's up!
We were so excited for them. It's so adorable seeing them ski!

I'm amazed! Cameron and Cooper really learn fast! I'm beat up from yesterday...climbing trees, playing soccer, baseball and hide n seek...and all over the country side on the golf cart...I don't think we stopped a minute..on to the next..poor Paco is exhausted today..she can't even chirp!
Happy to know Ed can still "barefoot!" Being over 40 and keeping up with the boys is hard work..hard work. Mel you have to be exhausted everyday of your life.
