Water skipping

[frank durant]

Nothing to do with boating but water IS involved.We still have a bit of snow here in my region of Ontario Canada...the river behind my house has really opened up this last week with warm temps and rain to help melt away winters remains. Only our little bay still has ice on it.The ski hill closed today so we thought we would take the kids one last time untill next winter.They had 'water skipping' on ski's and snow boards...yep...If ya want to know what entertains us northerners...it's watching people get wet with ice in the water.. :D

Hey Frank!
What is that? A visqueen slide? My view has a faint blotch of color (fast Eddie?) down in the belly of the luge. Could be very large, very deflated whale? Must be spring, tho, because in the distance the lawn is green going up to the club house! Bet you Northerners do some fun blanket tossing too!

Ebb...you are right on all counts.That 'blurr' is a snowboarder' right before he fell...lots did.The snow is gone on sunny hillsides but lots in the shade and in the bush.Finally....yep..right after the waterskipping awards,we set about the 'dwarf tossing' compitition.
