Our family gathering just before Christmas this silly season was great fun. Not only did we enjoy the company, the tucker, the open spaces and the pool, but we also had a great time lawn skiing. Yes, that's right, lawn skiing. It turns out that when there's really not all that much grass to mow you can get some water-skiing skills training done whilst being towed behind the ride-on mower. One of Eli's older second cousins was the first to have a go, but as soon as Eli saw it I knew he'd want a crack at it too. So, here are a few pics and a video of Eli taking to it, somewhat ironically, like a duck to water...
I was a little more surprised at the time (but on reflection, not really) that my Dad also wanted to have a go. He actually ended up cracking the board, so my perception that it's more a kids activity than one for adults was fully supported...having said that, the kids thought it was fantastic that my Dad had a go (you can see them running after him enthusiastically in this photo).
