Brian and I took the girls out of school Friday and headed down to the river with the whole fam. We traveled to Barkley lake on water starting at Evansville and locking through 3 dams before reaching our campground on the water at Barkley. It was a relaxing, family filled weekend with lots of laughter and triumphs as Katie, Maggie and Vann excelled in their watersports. Katie has the fearlessness and determination of her dad and skiied across the wake this weekend which was a big surprise to everyone! She also kneeboarded and came close to completing a 360 ( I guess you'd call it a 180) She watched Brian slalom and then said"Dad, now how do I jump those wakes like you and do it on one ski?" She'll probably be doing it soon. Now Maggie, is a little bit different story. She is a little more reserved like me and worried about things that might be lurking in the water and getting hurt if she falls. However, she braved the kneeboard like she did when she was an uncaring 5 year old and had fun. Vann tubed with Katie and practiced his fearlessness by asking to kneeboard. He is just so tiny but he managed to pull himself up and kneel on the board. He looked like a little frog on it! They also experienced sleeping in a tent for the first time and loved it! No more sleeping in the pop-up for them so they think. All in all it was a great weekend.
