Water sports

Oh my, did we have a wonderful time at the camp (still not comfortable calling it "camp"). The weather was perfect, the company the best and an entire week. A week felt like a long time before we came up. But TIME DO FLY! Gosh, it's like being on a jetski! I want it to be like a rowboat.

So the tornado, The Fisherman, arrived late Thursday evening and guess what, he was up before 5 am Friday to hit the river to go fishing. Well, he is consistent. I am good with that, because then I can get some quiet time in the morning with my cup of coffee on the deck and enjoy the beauty of Lake of the isle. You can't get tired of it. Ever. And you know what, when I sit there, sipping my coffee I take pictures. Tons of pictures. It is my comfort when I go back home to look at them.

Being at the water it is not only about fishing. You can enjoy water sports and that is exactly what we did. Or they did. We should have considered the choice of activity twice. It didn't go so well.

My son used to wakeboard a lot when he was younger. For some reason he thought he was 15 again. Maybe that happens every time he comes "home"? Well, he decided to try some tricks and we ended up at the emergency! His shoulder was dislocated and the pain was unbearable!

Before the doctor and the nurse put the shoulder back to its location, my son got some "juice" and boy did that make him high as a kite! Friday evening my son slept like a baby and fortunately he felt much better next day but with a sling.

This accident did not freak out my daughter, she wanted to try the wakeboard as well. She made it! This was her second time and she did great!

Be careful out there. Maybe fishing is the best sport to do after all...
