Do you want two ski's?

Ok so I am not a sports person. Well I am not the typical sports person, I never played soccer, softball or swimming as a kid instead my dad put me on the side of a mountain and said climb, another thing we did was own a boat so by 10 I was skiing. Its just the thing we did after school, and every weekend. So when my friend called and said that she was out on the lake we were there in a flash.
My friend Rachel and her brother Luke were out on their boat.
So we went out  played and then it was my turn, I put my ski on, complained about the cold water but then I got in and was ready to go.

I get behind the boat and they pull me. But I don't  make it up. I get pissed, my hair got a little wet, I was embarrassed. So they swing around we get all set up, thumbs up means go and again, I fail. Ok so sometimes if its the first ski of the season and my arms aren't in shape it may take me a time, but for sure by the second time around i get up. So then Luke swings around again and asks, "do you want to get up on two ski's and kick one off."AHHH I was mortified. I don't even remember the last time I used two skies, maybe when I was 8. 21 years ago. Then I realized that the ski was super short, i think I was on a junior ski so i adjusted my weight to keep the nose out and i got up. Finally. There was no one on the lake so it was glass and i had a great time.

When i got back in the boat Luke kept saying that people always come over and say they can ski but he has not seen someone solemn like that in a very long time. So that compliment  took off his marks for the "do you want two skis."  remark. We had fun here are some pictures. This really fills me! I had a wonderful weekend!

how fun! i also grew up skiing, wake boarding, etc...i miss it. seeing this really makes me want to live near a lake (but also near the beach) so my girls can grow up doing this kinda stuff too. i'm jealous.

Everytime I go to the lake/river with my friends, they always make me try to ski. You know what happens? I never get up, and by about the fourth time, I'm just pissed and wanting to get back on the boat and sunbathe while watching everyone else ski (which is what I really love to do anyway)....you know what?
this last river trip, no one made me try to ski. It was wonderful.

haha...I just don't think I was built for it or something.

Thats a major thing I miss about Fresno. I haven't been water skiing since we moved to So Cal.
