The SUPER Mable!

It's a bird!

It's a plane!

No! It's a SUPER Mable!

Mama say what???

It's a Super Mable. You know. A couch that can be pulled behind a boat on a lake. Geez. You didn't know that? I *thought* everyone did!

Okay. I had no idea what a Mable was either, much less a Super Mable, before a visit to the lake with our friends Jodi, Judd and their two year old JJ. And now I do. And too so shall you!



It's all good riding with a 2 year old. Man. That's the way to do it. Such a smooth ride you could have a cocktail out there while you're cruising along!



And that ride with the two year old (who is precious cargo) lulls you into a false sense of security.





And then you give the thumbs up as if to say "is that all you got?"



Hey y'all! Watch this!





Jodi did a pretty good job of whipping them around. And me too. :-|



Dear God! Is it over yet?!



For the record, Owen and I were the first victims of the Super Mable. Yep. We went a$$ over tea kettle off the back of it. Woo-Hoo! (After 7, you are apparently not precious cargo!)

So everyone took turns riding on the Super Mable. And Jodi and Judd took turns whipping us around. I mean driving the boat.

Unfortunately for Shane, Owen and Ken, Judd didn't forget that they made fun of his short life jacket.



Even though he warned them.



And they foolishly got back onto the Super Mable with him driving. After making fun of him. (GRANDPARENT WARNING: DON'T WATCH THIS AND IF YOU DO...BE SURE TO WATCH THE NEXT VIDEO!)



The fall obviously didn't traumatize him.



So he got back in the saddle. Again. I won't tell you how the last ride went but it ended with us searching for one of Ken's boat shoes that he was wearing before he got thrown off the Stupid Mable.

Judd did warn them not to make fun of him. :D

Ah. Good times. Good times. :-)

PS - If anyone finds Ken's water shoe, please return it to us, okay?

LOL - so funny - I knew Mother bear would never let them get hurt!!

It sure looks like a fun time - and I bet some beer was consumed. :-)

Was JJ as cute as could be?

I did watch both videos. The perils of working at a trauma hospital. Sorry. It does look like fun though.
