Memorial Day

Well, after the adventure to Old Town, we decided to see if we could torture our kids even more. :o) Ken's been wanting to take Blake on the jet skis for a while. We had the chance on Memorial Day. Cathryn and Blake kept asking if there were alligators in the lake. When assured there weren't, they were fine about being on the dock. Ken took Cathryn out first, after reassuring her that there were no alligators and that he would go slow. She was apprehensive at first, but game for it. She had a good time. Blake went second and, according to Ken, kept telling him to slow down. Ken let Blake steer for the most part and Blake was excited about that. But the water was choppy so it made for a bumpy ride. On the way back to the dock though, Ken said they got up to 50mph and Blake loved it. We went swimming afterwards, but didn't stay in long as the water was cold. Maybe our kids will become more and more Florida-like eventually.
