What\u2019s got eight arms, eight legs, and four mouths being blown into wide, windy grins? Our fam on jet skis!<\/p>\n
During our marvelous Minnesota visit last week, we took advantage of having lakeside digs (more on all that soon!) in order to rent a pair of jet skis for the day. Though no Nacks had ridden before, we were in good hands: Maria & her brothers grew up spending summers on the lake, tearing up the waves, so she got us right in business. Before the lads could drive, she required that they pass \u201cThe Brenny Driving Test,\u201d which consisted mainly of jumping off the vehicle & finding one\u2019s way back aboard. From there we were off to the races, sandbar, and more.<\/p>\n
After a couple of hours of relatively sedate motoring (in which we\u2019d focused on not killing anyone), Maria got a little restless and asked to take the controls. \u201cAnd that,\u201d as the boys would quote a comedy bit saying,\u201dis when the day went from good to great.\u201d Turns out we\u2019d had no idea what the machines are capable of, and as you can see in the video below, Maria delighted in (safely) scaring the wits out of each of us! Not pictured: her getting extra rowdy with Dad-O aboard, launching him into the lake\u2014and then subsequently launching off both<\/em> riders!<\/p>\n
