Surfs Up!

Ok, this one is just for fun. We were amazed to discover that there is a cable wakeboarding place not too far from us. You can go kneeboarding or wake, but instead of a boat pulling you around, you are hooked into a cable system that pulls you in a giant circle around a little island. Both Mikayla and Steve got in on the action. I was too busy taking pics and watching the boys - I know, lame excuse. :)
Here is Kayla, getting ready to go...then, success on the 1st try! Go, Kayla! All the pros were very impressed. :)Steve and she doubled for several rounds and had some great daddy-daughter time. They did not have any kid-sized helmets the day we went so one of Mikayla's biggest problems was that the helmet kept sliding down and obstructing her view.
I think Steve got bored with going forwards. Steve even tried a few of the jumps intended for wakeboarding (when you are standing instead of kneeling). And he discovered why they are intended for wakeboarding... :) Apparently, landing on your knees is not very pleasant.
Having this fun place not too far away is just one of the many blessings God has showered on us in our new home here in Bicol.

Too Cool! That sounds like so much fun. We're jealous. Yesterday we saw snow, sleet, hail and rain! Wishing for warmer weather and outdoor fun. Stacy
