Elyse and her Gma Janet had decided before vacation that they were going to parasail over the water while we were in the Outer Banks.  The day arrived, reservations were made, and Gma Janet is freaking out.  Alex decided he wanted to do it as well, so he was going to go with Derek.  Alex was a little nervous as well, but tried to hide it.  We all went to watch them get on the boat to take them out to the parasailing boat, and off they went.

All four, Derek was the only one who had done it long ago, said it was the coolest thing they had ever done.  Of course, they had to go the highest they could, which was 1200 feet above the water!  When we picked them up off the return boat, Alex shouted, "That was so cool!"

Well....that put some "want" into some of us who did not go.  Next thing you know, the next day, Sara and I are going and Papa is going with Alex.  Wayne tried to go but there was no more room on the transfer boat so he and Derek decided to go kayaking around.  They even kayaked to where we met the parasailing boat and had a great time.  Wayne had never done it before and said it is harder than it looks, as he flipped out a few times, but said he really enjoyed it!

So we had a super time parasailing and kayaking not just one, but two days!!!!  We could see so much of the Outer Banks, the ocean and the sound at one time!  Beautiful!  These are memories we will forever have with one another.  And more first for Gma and Papa!
