Who’s that tubing behind our ski boat??
Yep. That’s Gram (Randy’s mom), forgetting she’s a “grandmother” and taking a turn on the tube. It didn’t take much talking her into it, either. You go, Gram ;)
Pa-Paul got a shot of the kids doing what they call “Rodeo” on the tube. All pile on and hold on for dear life! Wonder where Dylan will fit? (making a note to get a bigger tube…)

You go Grandma!!! Woot! Woot!
Reminds me of my Nana D. We have a picture of her on our jet ski that I cherish to this day (now that she’s in heaven).

I used to slalom ski and snow ski, but in the past 11 years I haven’t been able to and fear of being hurt normally would have kept me off that tube, but I do have strong arms… So, after watching the kids having such a great time, Randy talked me into doing this. He said that he and Paul could get me back into the boat since my legs wouldn’t have. The way I was laying on the tube, my legs were not even getting bounced much. I also trusted Randy that he wouldn’t “sling” me around and outside the wake where it would have been rougher.
I wasn’t on it very long, but I felt so “alive” and “normal” while in the water (and the grands loved it). I remember that my Dad was on a jet ski two days before he died at age 82. Not a bad way to go, is it?? Not too bad for a 66 year old grandmother of 12 (with lousy legs/knees and eyes). YEA !!!
