So bright and early Monday morning KevO was checking out the perfect child size wakeboard on the Internet. * sidenote: now you must understand that my dad is not the most technologically sound man you will meet...like he can check his email, but sometimes creating an email is a feat for him. Ironically he has no problem finding things that he wants to purchase on the net...though purchasing them over the net is something he has not yet accomplished, so he still calls the 800# to place his order with a "live" person. Ok, so the wakeboard in all it's glory arrives bright and early Tuesday morning....and I'm not sure who was more excited: KevO, Caleb or Chip.
So without wasting any time we took "her" (the board) out and attempted to drown our 4 year old son in the Columbia River. The technique of teaching and explaining (to a not quite kindergarten age child) how to pull off this maneuver is a little more than we all bargained for. I will say at one point it involved Caleb body surfing like a porpoise for a good 20 yards before Uncle Trav showed off his best David Hasselhoff and leaped from the boat to save the day. When he reached Caleb floating in the frigid water of the Columbia, Caleb nonchalantly said: "Hey" like he had just been strolling down the street. And when later asked what his favorite part of the day was he said: "being pulled behind the boat!" Ha! So with Caleb beggin' for more and a couple new tricks up our sleeve, we will be back at it again tonight. Wish us luck.

Maybe tonight I will get some pictures of the actual wakeboarding (and when I say pictures, I really mean evidence for CPS).
