Mark is a rock star. He got on the tube with Maria without the slightest bit of hesitation, and have you seen people on tubes? Such scariness. Mark was ready/willing/able. He is our hero! Before we set off on the open water we debriefed him about what to expect, and also explained to both boys what happens if the tube tips over.
Alex was next. He needed to see his brother have a go at it first, and he had a blast once we got going. Of course, that was all before the great mishap! Christina spotted one of the bald eagles in a tree, and Lori turned the boat around very slowly so we could check it out. All good, right? Wrong. While going that slow over the wake there was no way Maria could save him from the impending circumstance! It tipped. Alex dunked. And then they bobbed a bit before his daddy came to the rescue. Definitely a trooper.
Was it worth it? We think it was! So amazing to watch the eagles soaring high above the lake, and we also were lucky enough to see one of them swoop down and nab a fish out of the water this past weekend. Maria's dad so so happy to finally see one. We all sat in the boat and took in the sight until the boys started to rock and roll.
How cool is Mark? He went up to 35 MPH on the jetski, while Alex went a big 5 MPH before wanting to head back. Alex is just more cautious. But Mark? We will get that kid up on water skis in no time.
