skiing in t-town (and my cousin michael’s wedding) • 08.21.10
here are some pics from a couple of tuscaloosa trips we took in the last few weeks. we went over once just to ski and once to ski AND attend my cousin’s wedding. it’s worth mentioning that although he had never heard the term to “outpunt one’s coverage” he most certainly has. it’s rumored that i did as well.
here are a few of lillis ripping through the water on the slalom ski. not pictured is her traditional pose of putting her foot through the handle and then flexing her muscles (although she did do that, probably trying to impress her boyfriend – jason’s eldest, michael).
here is lillis’ aforementioned boyfriend, michael
each year i work on something new with the wakeboard. this year i’m working on actually pushing off the wake to get more height. it seems somewhat counterintuitive that i can get higher by shoving my board into the water, but there’s some sort of physical principal at work that makes that the way to go. just a note, it doesn’t work if you’re just standing still, so there’s that. next trip, i’m gonna work on going goofy footed so i can prepare for some 180’s (and b/c i want to be able to do the same come snowboard season).
lil agreed to be photographed with me. i haven’t gotten to wear my linen suit in a while. i enjoy wearing it, especially since i got the zipper repaired.
here’s the chuch that my cousin michael and his wife lauren got married in.
my dad doesn’t frequently like to pose for the camera, but lillis makes everyone smile
i’ve since returned one more time to check out the penn state game (and got in a few more runs on the board). super nice (and convenient) to have an open invitation to a fabulous lake house less than 3 hours away courtesy of jason and holly.
