Our neighbors have been inviting us for weeks to go boating with them on Utah Lake. We were finally able to join them and their family Monday afternoon with Austin and Kasey. My kids already had plans to spend the day with their dad so they didn't come.
They taught us this new "surfing" technique to ride the curl off the back of the boat. This is Austin getting instructions from our friend, Dave on how to get up on the surf board.
Notice his hands are pulling himself up the rope. You have to bring yourself up to the curl off the back of the boat, then let go of the rope and ride the curl. Dave made it look really easy!
Kasey makes it look fun! But we all took a while to get used to the pulling and find our balance. By the time that happened, we didn't have anymore energy to stay up.
Brent stayed up for a really long time but couldn't find the right balance to ride the curl. Look how close he is to me... and I'm on the boat! It was a weird concept, but still fun to try.
I did the same as everyone else, trying to balance and pull myself to the boat, but ran out of energy fast trying to pull all the concepts together.
I am almost to the curl in the wave, and I've pulled myself up the rope, but once I got to the curl I was exhausted from pulling, so I bailed out.... Now I am on a new vitamin regime every day! Seriously! That was exhausting! But still a blast. I've never seen Brent's kids laugh harder!

That looks like a lot of fun, and a lot of work! I was scrolling through the picture waiting and hoping to see a shot of you in your white bikini! Maybe next time?
