Jet Ski hydro flight show

It's a bird, it's a plane...

Look quick.  This stuff aint easy!

(for ME it aint)
Ms Kelly makes it look easy.  (yes, i'm jealous)
We met at Little Jims Bait and Tackle Bar just across the Indian River from my City Marina.  Chris brought his boat there for transporting everyone around about 2 miles to "the cove" to 'party on the Sandbar.'  Kelly and Wally brought their Jetski and flying toys.  Aaron and Lydia brought a second Jetski, so we had a caravan transiting through the thick Saturday traffic of party boats out for a nice day on the water.  (it was very crowded with boats and people) 
Short Version: I was in a bar last week (sounds like the start of a bad joke) and met a friend.  In the same bar was a friend of theirs.  Turns out the friends friend had another friend with a boat...  Saturday all these friends got together and I tagged along with my camera. Yes, I tried this.  No I was not airborn long enough for a lot of photo coverage.  Yes, it was a 'trip.'  They told me to "bend my knees, then when i stand up, stick my butt out and lock my knees, just wiggle my feet and go in circles."  Simple!  Except it aint.  Imagine a toddler taking their first steps trying not to fall and you have the idea.

The day before, I met with my two adopted daughters, Tatum and Hannah.
