Shallow Pockets Brimming with Wipe-Out Victories


Aww Gramma. This past weekend my dad, brother and friend Taggart made the journey to Lake Hartwell to visit my Gramma and Pop-Pop and help out a bit around the property.  It never truly registers that it's summer until my first trip to the lake that actually includes a boat ride.  This was that trip for Summer 2012.


This is my grandparents' property. I wish I had thought to capture another angle or two because this photo just doesn't do it justice.


Ryan's grown a bit since we bought this lifevest, haha.  I opted to use my dad's as a floatie (if you wear it like a diaper, it works like the perfect seat)- I mean you can't hold onto your beer and a floatie at the same time, right? 

 



My gramma always tells us to "wear our seatbelts" on the lake.  Above: that's the seatbelt.  Taggart inventively made it into a water table.


My dad was hollering about his "Natural Light." Classy man, my dad.


The next day on the lake I decided to try something I've skirted away from for years... slaloming. I got into a bit of a skiing accident when I had just learned and I've been weary of being pulled ever since.  Slaloming I have never mastered- it was finally time to get back on the... ski?



After many, MANY attempts, I did finally get up [Ryan almost captured it above]!  Most of the time I spent eating  wake though... [below].  Painful.  But I DID IT, damnit!



Taggart skied too! Ry just stuck to photographing. Maybe next time.
