    My two boys (Mark -11, Ben 9) having fun doing some footin' on the Fox River, where they have been skiing behind the neighbor's Ski Nautique 2001.

    I guess weekend skiing in Northern Wisconsin is no longer enough. They now ski during the week in Illinois, too. What fun...

    Future Min-Aqua Bats......?

    I'm sure he was. He actually fell at one point and managed to turn himself back around and come back up on his feet, which his instructor (my neighbor) thought was pretty impressive for a 9 year old! Now that's my boy!!!! :good:

    Not sure. I'll let him know - thanks for the tip.

    He fixed this boat up and did a very nice job. He is now thinking about selling the boat and getting something newer - although I'm not sure why he would do that - the boat is very nice, other than the huge wake, which my boys don't like, as they are used to the little wake from our Hydrodyne.

    Mark,

    What part of the river do they ski on ? St. Charles ?? We use that area ourselves during the week in the evenings. Weekends get crazy and the parking lot at Boy Scout camp fills up really early.
    Lots....of wakeboard boats down that stretch of river.

    I think they go to St. Charles but to be perfectly honest I'm not 100% sure. I'll ask. They always go during the week - never on weekends.

    He has a grey on grey Ski Nautique 2001. My neighbor has two boys about the same ages as my boys. If you see them out there be sure to say "hello"...

    Looks like a barefoot boom might be a needed addition to the "Bano Dyne".......

    Looks like you have a reluctant photographee there, Bob... ;)

    BTW, the boys are at Boy Scout Island, St. Charles (I'm told).

    They are there all day today, again. Never see them anymore...
