In passing, a friend mentioned a local water ski show as being a fun summer family friendly activity…a few days later, I read about the same show in Minnesota Monthly Magazine and made it a goal to get to the show at some point this summer.
The show is nestled in between two bridges on the Mississippi River. People simply stake out a place to picnic on the grass alongside the river about a half hour before the show starts.
This was our view as we enjoyed our picnic dinner…
Once B realized that he wasn’t expected to get in the water behind the boat, he settled in and really seemed to enjoy himself.
This was the opening pyramid…I’ve never seen anything like it!
Even Little A followed the boats and antics taking place along the water in front of us…
The boats they used were far different from any boat I’ve skied behind…3 outboard motors capable of carrying and towing this crew!
Uncle J joined in on the fun…I couldn’t help but enjoy his little Fort Worth shout out on his shirt…
The slalom and wake boarders were too fast to capture…but the pyramids were incredible!
The show lasted about an hour…just the right amount of time for our nuggets attention spans…and yes, it was a fun summer memory, something my heart is grateful for!
If you’re in the area and it’s a summer Thursday evening…sneak it in, you won’t be disappointed!
Be blessed.
