This is what happens when Travis gets the Camera...


At first glance, and as we delve deeper, you will notice that Travis did a wonderful job capturing the essence of teaching Elaina and Griffin knee-boarding this past Saturday. Here they were preparing to disembark into the water.

Griffin, awaiting his turn. Don't you just love his hair?

Lisa, Miss Movie Maker, recording Elaina's first trip.

Ride Elaina, Ride!

Adalynn, having a fantastic time. Even though she wasn't thrilled with the Life Jacket at the beginning of the summer, she has accepted that she has to wear it anytime near the water. G'girl. So now, when she wants to go by the water, she will come to one of us and go, "Jacket? Jacket! Buckle'in!"

And Griffin, Mr. Fearless.

Elaina, goofin' off.
A different type of boat passing by.

Elaina, readying herself for ride #2. Notice Lisa still video-taping? So, evidently, Elaina fell off this time around...a pretty good fall and even though she said she was ok she couldn't unlatch herself from the kneeboard and flailed around a bit. Noticing that she was struggling, Trav was ready to jump in, but Clare beat him to it. Lisa got it all on tape. From the boat.

Awww. Gotta love'em.

So, that was part of the story. This is the rest. Along with these nice, explanatory pictures I also saw a lot of this on my camera:

and this...


...and this...

...and some more, but I can't show that on a family friendly blog. It looks like standing in the water drinking beer, but really, we all know they are conducting a very specific-super-secret study on the depth of the muck in Gun Lake.

Keely found this very interesting.
