Lara's Parents Visit

Caryn and Frank arrived on Sunday. We spent a lovely few days together, eating a bit too much and drinking a bit too much (but this is our holiday so we are allowed!!!!!)

Yesterday we went to the local lake 'Lac De Serre Poncon'. After a little picnic we decided it was time to go race some pedalos!So with Lara and I on one, and Frank and Caryn on the other we set off. I promised I would not gloat, so can not tell anyone who won....

Next up was Lara's first go at water skiing. Most people know that Lara is rather nervous in water due to her not being the most confident of swimmers. But she got in and started off with the beginners bar.

Mastered straight away - next onto the rope on the bar.Again mastered straight away. Next on to the rope behind the boat. This is where I thought i would see some fun, so camera at the ready.....The spoil sport got up first go and was burning around with no hassles what so ever. Even showing off a bit. She then decided to get a little cocky and go over the waves.Ha ha - that will teach you for being so good!!!! She did not let go of the bar either and pulled the legendary "I don't want to get my face wet" face that she pulls! classic. But she was straight back up and mastering the waves bit again.


This time mastering it but pulling some new faces that i had never seen before. She has a very malleable face my wife!Caryn and Frank proudly watching Lara being a water skiing hero on her first go.Caryn and Lara snuggling on the boat after Lara finished her hero go. Next it was my turn, I had already done it a few times years ago, so I was up and going around and loving it.I then had the same problems as Lara and started show boating and ended up like her.We both loved it and will definitely be going back to do it again, so watch this space for more water skiing action!!!!
