Taryn and Gib

Here are some photos of Taryn and Gib waterskiing, having fun, and hanging out. It was harder to find them and get on a boat with them, and I kept missing them. So I don't have as many photos of them as I would have liked. But I did manage to snag both of them and get us on the same boat on the last day. Unfortunately, I was down to about 30 photos left on the 2nd memory card, and I ran out before the fun did.

This is actually the day before the last day
At the swamped canoe races

Taryn helping Gib prepare for an Eagle Scout ceremony
As a patrol leader Gib got to call out the Color Guard

I LOVE MY KIDS!


Taryn got up on skis her first try last year, but didn't
actually get to ski very far before wiping out
This year was different!!!


She ski's great - just needs to bend those knees a bit more
and she's good enough to loosen her arms according
to our instructor

Wakes don't scare Taryn!

Amazing powers of concentration

Taryn's friend Jacob
(oh, yeah, and he's a fellow Scout of Gib's too!)

She's A Natural!
Doesn't she just look like a waterskiier?!

Taryn didn't want me to take this photo
Jacob helped uncover her face

Gib earned his Waterskiing Merit Badge the day before
I finally caught up to him for photos of him on skis

The merit badge requires him to put on his own skis in the water
get up on skis pulled by the boat, cross the wake twice, and lift a ski out of the water

I am so proud of Gibbie!

He's pretty dang proud of himself too!

Here comes that wake - cross it fast!

One more time!

Yee Haw!!!

And Wipe Out!!!
