Is there an echo in here?




We spent the day at Echo Reservoir trying out the new boat with the abuelos. Elliot is learning how to water ski. He got up for a couple of seconds a couple of times. After water skiing, El wanted to learn how to 'lake' board. This proved much more difficult. He still managed to get up once! Charlie, of course, wanted to ski as well. (This is where some parenting should have taken place. Such as, 'Charlie, when you're 5, you can ski.) The last thing Justin said to him was, "Hold on tight." So Charlie held on tight, fell and continued to hold on tight. Grandpa dragged him for what seemed like an eternity . . . although I'm sure it was only a couple of seconds. Charlie then decided to play on the beach for the rest of the afternoon. Our new boat mantra is 'Fall down, let go. Fall down, let go.' Lucy loved the beach! She crawled right up into the water and splashed away the day. All in all it was a great day at the beach!

Tell Joe that I am still traumatized by Michael dragging me behind the boat when I was about Charlie's age. Way to scar him for life.
