Mom makes us

 Skiing before we actually have to get in the water, sounds like a GREAT idea.....it's even okay when someone else is in the water and crying - we're still brave. Until........................it's his/her turn.
Try #1 - on her own.

 Uncle Steven joins the fun for try #2
 stand up!
 so close and a face full of water

 try #3
 noooooooo
 and we're done - there's no consoling for now. 

 Lucas' turn - different skis with an attached rope
 all fun and games til you have to get in for try #1
 try #2

 #3

 #4 
 annnnnnnnd, we're done.


 Abbey, of course, will only let me help her and she's already crying before we start try #1
 so fun! She's really little enough to just stand up before they go.....
 try #2
 she would let go every time I'd say 'hit it'.....just hold on!

Mo's turn - thrilling!
 Uncle Steven is our hero and takes my kids skiing when they're under 3.
 not so much fun....
 there's a few more pictures before this next one - it's just hilarious.....he's holding the rope while Steven is trying to put him on his shoulders. The shoulders terrify! Mo on land......on water must be worse!
 Hi Mom!
 He's got his legs wrapped around Steven's.....haha - way to go Mo!
Steven and Shay

They get to try at least once and then Grandpa will buy them ice cream. It was well earned - hopefully we'll be a little stronger this next year and we'll get the rope/ski situation down. Way to go kiddos!
