On Saturday of Labor Day Weekend we visited some friends of ours that were camping down in Marion. Chris had to work that morning and Dulcie and I had made plans to visit the NewBo Market. And her husband Todd was going boating with his sister, his son and one of the girls. Dulcie and I were taking Isabelle and Hope with us as well as Wyatt. However when he found these plans out he was quite upset not wanting to hang out with girls he asked Todd if he could go with them on the boat. Luckily we had packed a pair of shorts for him and Todd had an extra life jacket so off they went.
Later that day when they got back from there day of boating the first thing I'm told is "Sorry, but his shorts are gone!" Todd then proceeded to fill me in on the days events. Everyone had taken a turn trying to water ski and they some how talked Wyatt into trying it. Now keep in mind my son doesn't like water that is above his head. Apparently with a little coaxing he got in the water and was ready to give it a try. Tod said he got up and went about ten feet (typical for a first try for most people) and then face planted it. Here is where things get interesting. Instead of letting go of the rope he holds on. The driver of the boat keeps going because every time he looks back he is seeing water spraying like you would when someone is skiing. After quite a ways he notices Todd clear back holding the skis and realizes that Wyatt is being dragged along. H stops the boat and tells Wyatt to let go of the rope. Wyatt comes out of the water with no shorts. Apparently during his ride down the river his shorts were pulled off and left behind. Luckily he still had his underwear.
Now normally my son would be furious and be done if something like this happened, but he was laughing and having a good time and claims He went the farthest (even if it was on his face) After that he tried tubing almost losing his underwear and enjoyed the rest of the day.
No sorry there are no pictures just my recap of the story, but I find myself laughing just thinking of it because I can picture it clearly in my mind.
The shorts were never seen again and Wyatt wants to know when they are going boating again.
