Well, before school ended Dannie had moved to Franklin, NC to join Job Corps. At this facility she will be able to earn her GED, get a skill trade, and a job. She did have a two week break and was able to join us on our vacation.
For our vacation we drove to TN (my parents house) stayed the night and drove the next day to Lake Livingston, TX. I have family there who own a lake house. We stayed there for almost a week and then came back to TN for a couple of days and then to Brevard, NC for a couple of days (Dan's brother Roger lives here). And finally back home.
While at the TX lake house we all rode the jet skis! Dan and I rode the yellow one together, me being the expert (ha ha) water person that I am tried to give him a good ride. During this good ride we ended up flipping the jet ski completely over and were able to flip it back over, only we did not read directions and did not turn it back over in the correct direction and it would not start!! We had to push, while swimming the jet ski back to the dock! Luckily we were not that far out! Obviously I did not get any photos, but it was hilarious.
Dannie is very athletic and wanted to learn how to water ski, so Dan, my cousin Mikie, and myself taught her how. It took her about 5 tries before she was able to get up. The water was rough so she was not able to stay up for very long, but she did ski. I hadn't skied since before Blayne was born, so I had to give it a whirl. I refused to use two skies so I solomned. I took me three tries but I made it and boy did it ever wear me out! Man, I used to be great at water skiing, but I am definitley out of shape and practice!

I remember my first time skiing after Peyton was born. He was about 3 or 4 and was absolutely terrified for me to be out there!!! But like you, I insisted on using only one ski. I finally got up, but was so exhausted that when I did drop, I could barely get myself back in the boat!!! I don't think I could do it now if I tried!!! Looks like you had a fun vacation.
