Kneeboarding.
Kneeboarding on tummies.
First the V-man was up.
He did a great job!
Elin was amazed. And she was begging to kneeboard too.
Then Svea asked for a turn.
I was thinking . . . really?
She also went to the big kids Sunday school this week.
What is happening to all of my babies?
So there was some prep.
"You can
let go of the rope any time you want to stop. Remember, you can
let go."
She was holding on so tight to that thing.
And then it really happened.
Wow.
That's our big girl out there.
Elin begged and begged the entire time Svea and Viggo were kneeboarding.
Please could she kneeboard.
I told Elin she had to have more swimming lessons first.
Please could she have swimming lessons
right now.
Svea, who would not let go, went around a couple times more.
We had to practically pry her little fingers off the rope.
I LOVE it! Viggo's boldness definitely inspired Oliver... and Soren, who took his first spin on the kneeboard this summer. I think I held my breath the whole time - He got tossed completely under water during a turn and bobbed back up to the surface raving about how much fun it was! Where do these kids get their gumption?!!
