Waitara River fun

While David stayed at the camp and did AOL (Administration of Life, as he terms it) I went with Murray and Dee to join Kurt, Charlotte and their kids, plus Glenn down by the river.

The boat was in the water, with ski rope attached. It was a few hours off camp duties so the family could go kneeboarding.

Kurt showed the kids how it was done, and then the twins had a go - as it was their first turn, they just used the board to lie on - and they loved it. Dee and I were watching and feeling very nostalgic because our dad would have loved seeing little kids learning new water skills. And he would have had them waterskiing in short order!

Murray drove the boat and he was just as thrilled as Dad would have been. Charlotte,  Ziana and Luca's mum, was a wee bit of a nervous wreck at first ...

Luca's turn

Dee is much braver than me - I stayed on shore and kept dry ...

And David and I were excited, because we were waiting to welcome Irene and Ian from nb Free Spirit to come and join us in their hired campervan. Yay!! You may be a reader of Irene's interesting blog with fabulous photos. If not, then look her up: nbfreespirit.blogspot.com
