Boating with Rob and Stephanie

This is Rob. He was so kind yesterday to call and get us a babysitter (THANK YOU PARNELL FAMILY) and then call and ask us to go boating with he and his wife, Stephanie. Since we have moved to Greenville, Rob and Stephanie have taken us under their wings and have made us feel at home. They are great friends and we don't know what we would do without them (sniff).

Okay, On to the fun.

Rob is an old pro. He made wake boarding look like a piece of cake.


He is also somewhat of a show-off on the water.





And here is sweet Stephanie. She seriously has to be the nicest person I have ever met. Stephanie has become my go to person for help with the kids. Her son Zac is Gabe's age, and we have made a pact to swap off sitting each others kids when we need to get haircuts, go to appointments, etc.



She also made the whole wake boarding, water skiing look super easy.


Tongue hanging out of the mouth is her signature look while on the water. Most pictures I took of her were like this.




This was Stephen's 2nd time out on the boat with Rob. They had been out on a guys night before; so he had one up on me, but he did great too! He was moving from side to side over the wake and almost had down reversing his feet on the water.

Then there was me. This is pretty much where I stayed with the water skis on. I was so mad at myself because I could no stay up.

I did learn that if I had to choose between unwanted gulps of lake water vs. saltwater....I pick lake water.

The wake board was much easier. I was so tense though....next time I'll loosen up and straighten my legs more.

And I wasn't the only one who bit it.

Thanks again for a wonderful time guys (and babysitter hook up)!

We look forward to doing this again soon!
