If You Don't Knee Board By Age 4 You Are Kicked Out Of the Family...

Coraline just makes in in under the gun as she will turn four in a few weeks. It's a family rule. You must knee board before age 4. Just for the record if concerned parents are reading we wore life jackets at all times and started out with a partner, grandma on the tube. 

Next was a slow start with grandma in the water helping us stabilize.

"Just hold on to this. It's easy. It's not scary." Lot of lies we have to tell our children. 

She's off! 

Little girl a long way behind the boat.  

Not so bad if you close your eyes. 

Advances quickly to single hand technique. I think Coraline might have done better than Mary did at this age. 

Of course Mary is still doing pretty good on the knee board these days.
