Jet Ski

We bought a jet ski 2nd hand last year and had never taken it out. We took it out yesterday. It was nice because of it being on a Tuesday the lake wasn't very crowded. Greg or I neither one had ever been on a jet ski before and we weren't sure if we would even like it. I had this vision of dumping it in the middle of the boat ramp when Greg pushed me off the trailer but I didn't! It was great! I had a blast! My parents had their boat there too. Megan had told me earlier that she was going to ride the boat. After I took a spin to get use to it I came back to the boat to see if anyone else wanted to try it. Megan wanted to ride. After she rode that first time she wanted to go every time that it went out. She loved it! She's talking about going again after church camp. Greg took it for a spin then came back and took Megan with him. It took Seth a while to get use to the boat. He was very nervous about the whole thing for a little while. While Greg and Dad were loading up the boat Megan and I took another spin and Seth and Grandma were waiting on the dock. I decided to go back and see if Seth wanted to ride. He did! I took him for a cruise and he loved it. I was surprised that he wanted to go. We didn't do anything crazy and we were even more careful when we had the kids. (That's for Grandmom and Grandbear.) We will be careful. We didn't take our camera so these are pics taken from Greg's phone. Greg and Dad were loading up the boat when Seth took a spin so that pic is on mom's phone. I will try to get it and post it later. This week will busy since we will be getting ready for church camp on Friday.

Oh my goodness! You have had a jet ski that long and have never been on it? I would love to try one of those things.
Have fun @ camp. I lived for camp when I was a kid... miss those days. No one from Dayton goes to camp anymore. Rather sad. Does your family still run the snack stand?

Have a great time at camp! We did have some good times there didn't we?

Erin - Mom gave up the snack stand about 15 years ago but Paul and Dorine took over. They have had it all of this time and they are giving it up this year. So I have been in there too long. I don't have to worry about it at all this year! I do miss all of the "Dayton" people at church camp. Come on up and we'll ride the jet ski!

Michele - We did have a lot of fun at camp. Miss you guys. Come down with Erin and we'll ride the jet ski!
