The Lake was calling Bryan’s name.  And we are lucky enough for Bryan to call our name to join him!  We went at the crack of dawn, and it was so fun!

Micah had a good run (although he still wants those grip gloves he has talked about for ten years!).

Navy did an awesome job skiing her longest run to date.  We were dying that she looked like a little old grandma!!!

Scout also had a great ski run — and ventured outside the wake a bunch!
Then Scout tried the wakeboard and did a pretty good job.
Finally, he tried the wake surfer…and it all went south for Scout!  His board nosedived, and he fell foreward.  WHen he was falling forward, his board came shooting up from under the water, and the tip hit just to the right of his right eye.

He got an immediate goose egg, and was out of commission for a bit.  Poor guy!  And how blessed are we that it wasn’t his eye!

He hopped back in when the kids all wanted to play “Drag”.  Doey was the caboose, and swollen eye or not — the kids did a good job of hanging on.

On our way home, I turned back to check out Scout’s eye, and saw this sweet scene.
Out of our family, Scout has easily had the worst injuries.  But nothing keeps him down for long.  And his attitude…basically after any injury he has, I don’t hear another word about it.

(Update…Dr. Baker felt around Scout’s eye, and he says that the tip of the board broke off a piece of Scout’s bone.  Then I felt it, and it was totally floating around near his temple.  It was kind of creepy, but according to the doc, his body will eventually absorb it…so that isn’t creepy at all!)
