Here are a few shots of my sons and a friend from the weekend.
No internal or external injuries so it was a good afternoon on the lake.
Only one other boat. Go figure.











Yes they can still ski.

They're all great shots, but that second one is hilarious!

Two totally different emotions at the same time!!!

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks. The funniest move of the day was a high-speed, unintentional rider transfer.

I initiated a nice whip where the green tube was sliding out to the side. The black tube hooked up and went zinging out to catch up with green, and slammed into it. My son flew off and was deposited on his back on the green and away they went.

Both were laughing so hard they fell off shortly after.

Hoped they ski before tubing. Otherwise I don't know how they still had energy. Good pics.

awsome pictures, looks like a great day.. It's amazing what torture the young body can take... When family and friends come see us in summer all the kids want to do is tube,, it's the most fun to watch and think back to when the tubes did not have boots so you would fall wright through.. Our first tube was a Fun Tube it had 2 molded on grab handles,, no boot or inflatable bottom and it had a nylon strap that wrapped around it and the ski rope handle was then passed through it... upon hitting throttle it would fold in half while dragging the pop up onto plain,,if ski handle was in right position the spray from it was blinding..
Thinking back my wife and both are amazzed we are both still alive... AHH Yes the good old days..
