Practice Makes Improvment!

I always tell the boys that Practice doesn't make Perfect but rather Improvments. As the summer is winding down to an end, and our boating weekends are pretty much over(hence we have a VERY BUSY SEPTEMBER) the boys have practiced all summer and have both gotten much improvment in their skiing/wakeboarding.
Elijah has attempted the wake jumping and needless to say my 8 year old son can wakeboard better than me!! He has other boaters turning their heads to watch this little guy attempt to jump wakes. I took a dozen pictures and this is the best I got of him. Well done Elijah. Im eager to see what next summer brings!!
And sweet Caden...usually we have to encourage him into the water to ski, however this past time he was asking to ski. This past time he attempted to ski about 6+ times and each time he got a bit further in distance. I think next summer we will see the greatest change as he continues to get a bit older. We are so proud of our 5 year old!! (yes, I still have to get in with him to hold him upright or else he can't keep his ski's straight).


So we had to get rid of our old tube because of a hole, however we found a great deal on this double tube that can be either a flat tube or a tube where you can sit inside of it. The boys love it and Elijah has found that when Caden isn't on the tube it's lighter thus allowing him to catch some air. Here is a video (excuse my silly voice) of Elijah "flying".

Im impressed! I was so proud of myself this summer when I got up on a wakeboard, but soon humbled when I couldn't jump the wake. :)
