WaveRunning


After six years of being in storage, we finally got our waverunner out and working. We took it into the shop a few days before my reunion knowing it wouldn't be back in time, but hoping it wouldn't cost too much. To our amazement all it needed was a new battery, new spark plugs, an oil flush and more fuel. We were so shock and thrilled to have it back the Wednesday after my reunion having cost us a fraction of what we were expecting. Of course we had to take it out the day we got it back. We took it to a calm area of the snake river where there's a nice park and a boat launch. The last time we used the waverunner Sarah Kate was a few months old, so the kids were all very excited to try it out. They've been playing on it while it sits in the garage, but I don't think they had any clue how much fun it is when it's actually in the water. We had a blast and decided we needed to take it out the next day with the tube. Kenny called his boss and invited him to come so Thursday we were joined by Ron and two of his three kids. Everyone had a great time, even Ron who got thrown from the tube, and they all want to do it again soon.


Sarah Kate riding the tube. She was a little scared at first, but as soon as she saw Ben do it she decided she could also. Once she had a turn, she didn't want to stop.

Hannah pretending to ride the tube. She liked to sit in it and be drug around next to the dock. That's as much of the tube as a two year old can have.



Ben loved the tube. It was so much fun to watch their faces and see just how much fun the kids were all having.




Hannah's the brave and determined one. She always wanted to drive the waverunner, not be driven.
