Spotter

Maddox practicing spotting while his brother's on the trainer.

Trainer

Colton tried real skis last weekend snd did a good job but struggled to stand up.   He's back on the ski trainer, "but only until Jordan is home so I can go on my real skis again."  He kept saying , "go faster!!!"  He made up his iwn skiing hand signal of a pinch to go "just a liiittle faster."

New wakeboard

New wakeboard, new tow rope, new driver!  Papa and Mom git some driving lessons, and Papa drove for a sunset debut of Dad's new board, bindings & tow rope!  Both guys did great!!

Go faster, Dad!

Maddox "no fear" Smith smiling after sternly telling dad to go faster!!!  He had his first tumble off the trainer, but after a few tears he said next time he should (you guessed it) GO FASTER!!!

It's all about currency.

Found the right currency, thanks to Mimi.  Maddox is now potty trained with the help of chocolate Tim Bits!!!
