To ski or not to SKI


To ski or not to ski .. that is the question that was answered on a beautiful sunday afternoon in the great state of California in the city of Lake Elsinore .... the answer to the age old question is NO PAULINE can NOT ski. I did try. Honest.
I finally gathered enough nerve to jump into the water. I put on a ski WOW they are heavy and to be honest once the second one was on I knew that i would never be able to balance and "stand up". Well first pull, lets say I did splits in the water with mouth open wide; i think that I drank half the lake. Second try, yes i was crazy enough to do this again, and still no luck, but i did manage to hang on longer. Okay so third try, one ski, goofy footed I was still not able to stand. At this point i threw in the ski and got in the BOAT! 3 pulls; 3 falls; 3 gallons of water drank. I was done. Sore and desheveled we headed back to shore. I will try again some other time. The photo is Tim, Derrick and Eric in the boat on our first pass to find calm waters. Just wondering do they think that they exist!

I'm so proud you tried and tried again! Strong legs are key and keeping those ski's pointed upwards! Of course it's been YEARS since I last skied and I definitely don't have any plans to do so anytime soon!!!!

That's so neat! I did the ski thingy when I was probably like 15 or 16... today, I wouldn't dare try to pull my fat behind on those things! I remember, boy you need strong legs! Well, my friend, you are far ahead of me by just TRYING... I wouldn't even BOTHER!!!

Tim you need to get in the sun a little more often. But make sur4e you use SPF 50 we wouldn't want you to get burned. Other than that, Tim ski, just keep your tips up and hang on for dear life. LOL
