Maybe there's hope for Clay

Those of you know that the boat was my idea. Clay went along with it, reluctantly.

To encourage Clay to like the boat, we invested in a wake surfer from our friend Matt Smedley who builds his own boards in Texas. The concept behind wake surfing is that you weigh the boat down so that there is a big enough wake for you to surf on it. The videos on YouTube are pretty cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTY8mrwhOTQ

So, we headed out to Utah lake one Friday night to try it out.
Unfortunately, Clay tried, and tried, and tried, and messed up his back, but couldn't get up this time. Clay wasn't too discouraged, though, and said, "You know me, Rosanne. I don't give up easily on fun." Phew!

The kids had fun playing on it anyway.

And after a few tries at the end of the night, Clay got up on one ski and had a glorious run. So, maybe there's hope for Clay after all!
