Waterskiing!

It's summer!  Everybody say yay!  Ok.....I will calm down now.

Since it is summer, I felt is was time to share some photos featuring one of my favorite summertime activities: Waterskiing!  Thanks to my parents who have a boat of their own, I have a plethora of photos to share on this subject.

The photos below are from various trips on the boat--not just one day.  The skiers pictured are (in order of appearance): Mark, Karl, Adam (remember him from previous posts?  See here: Escher, Fashionable), and Tyler.

Mark--AKA: my father!  I'll say it again and again--the guy is in better shape than I am!

 You may notice there are some serious faces of concentration in these photos--waterskiing is not easy!

Karl--giving me a great background with the water spray as he changes direction.  The water spray behind the skiers was such fun to try and capture in a photograph.

Adam--lookin' good as always.

You'll notice they either have the normal two skis or the less usual one ski.  Using only one ski is called "Slalom Skiing," which is much more difficult (at least I have never been able to do it!).  And yes, I just looked that up on Wikipedia to make sure I spelled it correctly ;)

Jumping!  Tyler was attempting to jump from one side of the boat's wake to the other--he made it!

Tyler Slalom-ing and providing me with even more opportunities to capture that glorious water spray.

My favorite of the bunch--even though it's not super action-y, I like the "V" that is created by the water spray.

They were good times on the boat--as always.  I would really love to get some other points of view of the skiers than from the boat, but that would require a second watercraft to drive alongside.  Any body have a jet ski I can borrow?
