mini MI reunion w/ pics

So, the mini "reuinion" out on White Lake went very well. We had 2 BFN's, a Ski Nautique, and an Eliminator come out. We ripped some runs on the lake and hung out at the White Lake Inn tiki bar. despite the pizza taking forever to cook, it was an awesome day. Until we realized that three of us had to leave for a Birthday party out in Utica (about 45 mins away for all of you who dont know the area). so we left the bar at around 130 and made it to the party. and for those of u at the reunion wondering, we were not in trouble with the wife/mother. and we actually got to the party before jeff. it was probably because he had to wait for the wife and kids to get ready

overall it was a great day. hope those of you that were there had fun. and thanks for coming out. if anyone wants more pics, email me at kirchdog2@aol.com

Thanks to all who attended the mini michigan reunion. Tullfooter (Steve) and his son's Jarret and Brendan (waterskier2007) were excellent hosts.

I got a chance to pursue a long time goal of learning to barefoot.

James (87BFN) and Jake started me out on the swing... then went to boom, and ended the day trying a few long line deep starts behind Brian's (Quigs85SN2001) boat. Got the butt glide down, and a few seconds of 3-point. I'm looking forward to hanging with the BIG DOGS.

Thanks for a GREAT time, and hopefully we can do it more often. I'm definitely bring nose clips and tape next time. My sinuses are KILLING me. ;o)

Have a great week.

That was a blast. Too bad we were on a limited time frame.
The weather tried to stop us but I don't think that was possible. James and Jake, thanks for coming out and putting our boats side by side. I'm going to need a set of those Hi-techs. I wish I had a camera when Jake was riding that barefoot handle on the end of the boom like it was a tree swing. James, keep up the footing, bump your speed up and quit leading with your face lol.
Joe and Nancy, great to meet you two. Any time you need a spotter, give a yell. If we can't be out, Jeff is always looking to ski. Joe, you are a brave man to put on Doug's barefoot suit. Do you know what evil lives in there?
Quigs, by the looks of yours and Greg's perma-grins, I think you guys had the most fun. Long line footing is just around the corner.
What time did everyone leave? I figured if Jarrett, Brendan and myself did not have a comittment, We might still be there.
We will do it again soon. Thanks again for everyone coming out.

I agree with Tullfooter, what a blast! I'd go back to White Lake any time. I sure wish our lake had a Tiki Bar. Joe and Nancy, James and Jake, it was nice to meet you. We newbie footers need to stick together! We have been talking about resuming our Sunday morning barefoot clinics on Big Lake. You guys are more than welcome to join in. Let me know if you're interested. We don't have a Tiki Bar, but I'll do my best to compensate for it.
