The get-to-together was a blast for us. There are so many folks that we never get to see-we had a great time seeing everyone all sweaty–boy was it HOT! The food was good as expected and we all had lots of laughs!
Cousins! Nothing like it!
Where it all began–ALMOST!
We definitely need to do this every year. Maybe it will be at a time that more people can come next time!
In August, Carlin skiied in Fayetteville, Tn to win the State Championship tournament in the Junior Expert division. WE had great time at the tournament. I won a drawing for a new Hyperlite wakeboard and all kinds of goodies. This tournament qualified Carlin to ski at the U.S. Championship tournament in Bakersfield, CA. However, she decided to start skiing in AWSA (Amererican Waterski Association) tournaments instead.
Seth Stisher and Carlin on the last day.
Pro skier Seth Stisher came to Carlin’s ski coach’s house on June 5th and 6th to help coach! A week before Seth came we had gone to Louisiana for ski school Carlin tore her hands up with blisters! When Carlin was about to ski she taped her hands because of blisters. After her first set her blisters were torn off! OUCH!!
The whole two days were awesome. Everything was relaxed and the pro was very nice! Great coach too! She took one hard fall that scared us all! The tip of Carlin’s ski got under the wake and she did a couple flips and her head hit her ski,then she went one way and the ski went another!
She was sore for a while but she is fine now! After everyone was done skiing we all played and ate!!
Everyone who skied with Seth Stisher.
Oops one of the many “easy” falls skiers take! The one thing all coaches say is if you dont fall your not learning. Well I guess that I must be learning alot!!
