Hit It!

When you water ski with our family you yell “Hit It” when you are ready to go.  The driver of the boat hits the throttle and you go skiing.  When you first learn to water ski there are a lot of “Hit It”s followed by splashes.  Just now Veronica put both skis in the water then Mark (the RN) and I “hit the throttle”.  Veronica did great!  She kept her tips up, and her skis straight, she did a quick turn and landed perfectly back at the dock (or recliner).   She stood up for a good 5 seconds!  Now she is sitting up in a recliner.  Dr. Schwartz wants her to sit up and move as much as possible.  Mark said, “you will hate me this morning, but love me by this afternoon.”

Waterskiing

Apparently my boys were craving some lake fun today.  I was painting the shed and all of a sudden I heard Lincoln shout, “Hit it!”  Then Nolan turned the crank on something that made a clicking sound.

I turned around to find this: a striped sheet was tied to the upper part of the playset (the ski rope,) the lawnmower (the boat ignition/throttle) was laying on the playset platform, and two tennis rackets were next to each other on the grass (skis.)  Good to know they’ve picked up the ski/tube lingo.

Nolan reenacted the scene so I could capture a couple of pictures.
