That's a really nice looking lake.
water looks great.
that gash on the boy's head looks nasty! how did that happen?
Nice pics. I always tell people that Lake Keowee is one of the nicest lakes in the South East. Beautiful lake.
Agreed, I love going to keowee. What's the water temp up there? I haven't made it to Keowee yet this year only Murray.

rc5695, Nice looking Kamberra there! I hate to be a buzkill though but with those litte ones on board i'd for sure put a bimini top on that boat. Skin cancer especially for the fair skinned is no laughing matter!
nice pics and beautiful water. a head gash like that is the reason I now keep a skin stapler on my boat!
He made a small wake jump (still learning) and nosed the board into the water. When I got back to him, he still had the board on his feet, and didn't even know he was bleeding! Never got a big knot on his head or nothing. We actually played the rest of hte day and I didn't take him until the ER until around 7 that night. happened around 1:30-2:00. We just had him hold an icepack in a T-shirt on it and keep it dry. Ended up with 3 staples. He's the oldest, and he's very tough, unlike many of the rest of us :rolleyes:Quote:

We were swimming last weekend, adn it wasn't bad. Doesn't take your breathe away to jump in anymore ;)Quote:

Ouch on the bump:( Looks like all had a good time. Great to see.
I could never figure out why some people feel they need to sell there boat when they have kids? We've always had a boat since I was born. Now with my family, its just good clean fun and a great way to stay involved with your kids.
That first year with an infant (especially the first one) can be tricky and the wife is usually scared to leave the house at all. Plus, the infant life vests aren't all that comfortable. But, it only gets better from there. It really is a temporary situation.
Me either. GREAT family activity!!! My wife wasn't on a lake until she met me, and we had our first son out there before he was a couple weeks old! I lived on a lake my whole life, until I had to move out on my own ! lol. We lived a couple minutes from the launch until we moved here to SC, and now we're 35 minutes away. Tell ya what, it is HARD having ot trailer a boat like that after living your whole life being able to just walk down and drop the hoist...Quote:

Excellent pics!!! I can not wait to get out on the water.
As to the head gash, put all of those kids in helmets!!! It would suprise you how many people crash wakeboarding and get hit by the board. Behind my boat NOBODY wakeboards or Knee boards without a helmet. I did a wake jump a couple yares back and cased the other wake on the knee board and the nose smahed me in the head and left a huge goose egg!!
Hey I bought my boat from Lauderdale, so did Deerfield, small world. The kid I'm talking about my 10 yr old was born in Jan.Quote:

I never did use helmets for any water sports. Never grew up using them. But now we make our kids wear them when riding bikes (never heard of that when I was young either). So I picked up a couple Pro-Tec helmets on sale for $30-35 each on Amazon.com. I'm going to start using them as well! Better safe than sorry :)Quote:
