Yes....I said REDNECK.....We went to Santee Friday morning and met up with my dad, my brothers and their families for the weekend. We had a great time, even Steve admitted that he had a good time, even though he isn't much for "camping" with my family. Yes, there was 25 of us so Dad and Tony took their two RV's for some more room. It was like Redneck Heaven....beer, boats, bar-b-que. The youngins got to play on the "beach" and ride the pontoon boats with "Big Bertha" behind it, ride the jet skiis, the golf cart and shoot fireworks. Hazel had such a blast with her cousins, that she cried last night when it was time to leave. Some of my best childhood memories were made at the Lake camping with my family and ridin' the boat. Steve, being a "city boy" as my dad has always called him, was not exposed to this way of life, but you know what? I think he likes it a little more everytime we go. He's getting a little better driving the jet ski, even though he's still scared to drive fast, and he will not ride with me at all, because I drive too dangerous for him.The important thing is that we were able to spend time with family over the Holiday.

Mason driving Uncle Steve on the jet ski. Yes he had to have an 8 year old drive him, because Uncle Steve doesn't go fast enough. and yes...Mason has a mohawk.
