The One With Fireworks

Tracy & Frisco jumped into the Suburban and headed East for July 4th. Kel flew in from San Fran and the whole family met down at Lake Gaston. Uncle Mike, Aunt Jeanne & cousins Alli, Davis drove in from KY and cousin Alex caught a ride with Aunt Gail.

The weekend consisted of lots of wakeboarding, tubing, hot dogging, skiing and eating!! The weather was beautiful, except for July 4th, when a huge thunderstorm rolled in. Luckily we had caught the big Lake Gaston fireworks display on Saturday night and set off our own, that Alex brought, on Monday.

Stan perfected the backside & frontside 180's over the wakes. Tracy perfected the frontside 180 and landed the backside 180 on her last day. Kel became an expert at the surface 180 to fakie outside the wake and into a 180 back to normal while going over the wake. Alli figured out the surface 180 on Tracy & Kel's last day. Jeanne, Mike & Davis all got up on the wakeboard for the first time...quite the pros. Everyone enjoyed the new toy...the deadly hot dog and the circle of death.

Enjoy the pix...
