There is a First for Everything...Even Grandma Judy!

Judy on jet ski with Wayne at cabin
I have a little time so I wanted to share a quick post of how everyone, even Grandmas, can live life to the fullest and try new things every day.  While we were up at the cabin on the 4th of July, something amazing and wonderful happened!  Grandma Judy got on the jet ski!!!!

Now both Gma Judy and Gma Janet have similiar characteristics in that they are afraid of water (Elyse taught Gma Janet and Papa how to blow bubbles in the pool a few years ago in North Carolina and we still chuckle about it).  They also don't like to get their faces wet....So when we were at the cabin and Carol and Gma Judy were getting ready to leave, Carol decided to take one of the jet skis out for a spin.  Needless to say, her words were "This could get addicting".  Next thing I know, she has talked Judy into getting on and giving it a try!  We were all amazed!

Now I don't know if Judy loved it or not, but I do know she was holding on for dear life.  It was a super sight to see and the kids will remember that even Gmas try new things......that's what makes life so wonderful!

Not only do Elyse and Alex know Gma Judy as "Off Road Granny" (personal story about her crazy driving of a golf cart in South Carolina), but now they know her as "Jet Skiing Granny" as well!  And as often as she says she is proud of them, they are proud of her as well!

Great memory!  (I did video tape it but haven't had time to put it on YouTube yet.  Will do when we return from vacation)
