Water Fun

Ashley and I have our 21st anniversary coming up on the 25th.  The first games for SEC football are on the 26th, so we figured if we wanted to celebrate, we better do something before that first SEC weekend.  Thus, today, the three of us headed out to Pickos Ski School and did some skiing and boarding.

It was a beautiful day--not too hot, but also warm enough so we wouldn't be cold when in the water.  Before we started, Bode and Ashley posed for a nice picture.

Bode was the first to go, and he popped right up.

Here are some good still shots of Bode


Bode did try to slalom.  Here he is try to drop a ski, and then he went down :-(
Fortunately, he did successfully drop a ski and do a lap around the lake
After Bode finished up, it was time for the master, and by master I mean Ashley.  She popped right up and was off.
She's quite good and even managed to do a jump or two.  
There are pictures of me on Ashley's phone, and I'll try to upload some of those later.  What's neat is our instructor today was Adam Pickos.  He is a two-time World Champion trick water-skier.  It's not often that we've been taught by a World Champion, and it's hard to argue and say he doesn't know what he's talking about.  Adam was skiing when we arrived.  He does things like hold the rope with his feet and does 360's; pretty amazing.
Bode has been back in school for two weeks.  No issues so far--let's home it stays like this!
