Wednesday Night Water Skiing

Some of our favorite people clued us in and invited us along to Wednesday night water skiing.

It's free, every Wednesday night. We went with our friends, had a picnic dinner and watched a pretty amazing ski show put on by a ski school. They had the kids do a little pre-show and then the older ones (youth to adult) showed us some amazing moves.

There were jumps and pyramids and this 'water ballet' group. I learned how to water ski and know just enough to appreciate how hard a lot of the things they made look easy really are.
My pictures don't really give them justice and my batteries died so I didn't get a video of the 4 skiers that went in a full circle around the moving boat and then when one skier went around the boat and ducked under the other 3 ropes-seriously cool-and even as I write it I know the words don't do justice to the trick. You gotta see it in person!

Looks like a fun time----this must be where the skiers who perform at the Wisconsin Dells learn their trade.
