You did an excellent job riding the jet-skis

You first rode with three different people and had a chance to learn how to handle the machine, learned how to go fast across the waves and learned how to not crash. When you asked is you could take it out alone...

I remembered your older brothers, who were a little bit older then you at the time in Baraboo. They were a little too out of control and I was afraid not only would they crash they would mess up the machines too...

But you were pretty calm and steady and as you made each turn around the lake it became clear you were going to stay out a little longer and when I tried to wave, not only did you not wave back, you did not come in...

But as we cleared the boats to head back to the docks, you saw us and headed back in the jet ski... navigating you way behind us...

I was proud and scared...

Proud that you handled it so well and scared just in case you were scared...

But it wasn't to be....

You did make one mistake cuttting in front of the other boat, but you listened well when the older guy explained the rules....

No more scared...just proud...
