Achieved

It has finally been achieved!  Caitin and Jamie had both tried wakeboarding a few times and could get up, but now they can get up AND go far.  Caitin can board for about 10 minutes and Jamie is just as close, so here is just a short clip:

 

As wakeboarding parents, we couldn't be more proud.  Like a kid in a candy store, it makes us giddy to see them accomplish this, and the fact that they really enjoy it is great!  We are definitely loving the investment. 

Easter in Ontario

There are two things we did this Easter that are worth mentioning:

1.  An Easter egg hunt which included two baskets and two separate hunts for eggs.  The girls, Caitin especially, thought it was really special that they got to have 2 of each. 

 We had a really tall Easter bunny this year, or one with a playful personality.  Caitin wondered how in the world she was going to get this one down.

There were 50 eggs in total but one fell through the fence into the neighbors yard and two were not found.  I guess Grandma will find a special surprise sometime this summer.



We learned from Caitin's experience that it's just easier to have mom hoist you up for the "unreachables."

 

 

2.  We went boating.  However, all of us weren't as CRAZY as Brandon who thought that 49 degree water was okay to wakeboard in.  I guess the excitement of your first boat outrides the realistic side of things.

 

 Yes people, he is going to get in!

 

Does this constitute having his "board" legs back?

 

Here is our addition to our family.
