Elijah also went out on the Jet ski again. The impressive thing for me was that he went out with someone besides me or Scottie. At first, he was a little nervous/excited to go out with Babo, but very quickly he couldn't get enough. Babo was laughing about it when they got back, saying that Eli kept telling him to go faster and chase the wake so they could hit the big bumps. One time, they were almost swallowed by a huge wave, but Elijah, showing what a big boy he's become just shook it off!
Another amazing thing that Elijah did in the water on this trip was go on his first ride on the tube behind the boat. Once again, Babo was a huge help, as Keira was in no shape to let me tube with Eli. Babo offered to ride with Elijah and Eli accepted. I was amazed. He had a blast. Like the jet ski, he couldn't get enough, and he wanted to go over and over again. On a side note, it was a little trippy to watch Elijah and Babo on the tube from the boat. The tube is pulled far enough away from the boat that it almost looked like Babo and Uncle Brian as a little boy instead.
Finally, Elijah surprised me once more on this trip by swimming off the boat in the middle of the lake. He'd only ever swam in the swimming area before, and he'd had not interest in swimming in the middle of the lake. But, this trip, almost immediately he went in the water with Babo, Roz, Katrina and MacKenzie. Eventually, he even got brave enough to let go of Babo and swim by himself.
