Summer Upstate

I’ve had a wonderful summer so far – things haven’t gone entirely to plan but we’ve worked something out! Perfect example of this is when were meant to go water skiing on with my friends boat but it needed to go in for some repairs the day we were going to do it! Michael was annoyed because he had read the article on pontoonboatsreview.com giving tops on water skiing but he still got to use them because we just tied the skis to a 4 wheeler and skiied like that! It wasn’t as good as proper water skiing but I still had loads of fun. Here are my favorite pics:
