demo rides ..

jeff had meetings in the morning while we were at the seadoo show .. but in the afternoon he had demo rides .. this is the best part if you are cash and ellie .. the demo site is easy to find .. you just look for the flags ..

to participate in the demos you also have to wear one of these .. this means that you are over 18 and have signed the medical release and hold harmless agreements .. and yes .. i know my kids are not over 18 .. i was not there when this happened .. this must be what ellie was talking about when she said that she had to sign her name .. i was thinking that she signed a ticket to buy a sprite .. not sign herself up for the demo rides .. not to worry i say .. when we get to the demo site they won't let her or cash on .. don't need to say anything about it now ..  why burst the happiness bubble .. right ..

look mom .. we are going on a demo .. WHAT !! .. i shriek .. it seems that it took me a little longer to get to the demo site .. it was about a 5 mile walk .. uphill some of the way and on very skinny walk ways .. i was also lugging my camera and the swim bag ... it seems that jeff and the kids walked extra fast for a reason .. jeff knew that the kids were going to get to ride and if i showed up at the same time with them, i would have had a chance to say something about it .. tricky .. so .. the guy .. dude was his name .. don't ask .. anyway .. dude was telling jeff how to work the ibr .. you would really be amazed at the number of seadoo dealers that don't know .. i mean really don't know .. how to operate seadoo's .. ok cash tells dude .. can we go fast now .. sure little man dude says .. you can tell that my kids are loving dude .. so off they go .. dude says to me .. ma'am .. yes i say .. after cringing that i have just been called ma'am by a boy named dude .. anyway .. you gonna ride .. no thanks i say .. i don't have a wrist band .. you really don't need one .. you can ride if you wanna .. no thanks .. i am going to take some pictures .. ok dude says .. if you change your mind i will be right over here .. ok dude ..

so they loved the red one .. lets ride the brown one dad ... ok jeff says .. hop on ..

ellie is telling dude that while they were riding they fell off into the lake ..which means the kids were hot so they stopped and swam for a bit .. and we just fell off .. just like that dude .. ok .. i say .. lets go back to the pool and swim ..  see ya dude the kids holler .. i am certain at this point cash is wishing that he had his john deere tractor hat on backwards and sideways .. dude would totally have loved that ..

so we did .. we ordered some cocktails .. swam and played a little football ..

a small side note .. dude is a test rider for seadoo .. he gets paid big bucks to ride the heck out of seadoo's newest and greatest stuff and then come back and tell them whats wrong with it .. i would love to meet his parents .. !
