Megan the Daredevil

Megan has always been our very adventurous child. She started walking at 9 months and was running by 10 months. A few years ago she went to a ropes course. The people running it said that they had a few new elements and no one had tried them out yet. She was the first one to volunteer.

Recently, we were invited to go out on the lake for the day. Someone Chet works with has a power boat and 2 personal water craft (aka jet skis). It was getting close to dark and the jet skis are not allowed out after dark. Megan was asked if she wanted to drive one into the dock. She jumped at the chance. Unfortunately, she only has 2 speeds. She is either all out or stopped. Needless to say, she was all out. Everything was great, until she hit the wake doing about 40 mph's. She went one way, the jet ski went the other. Luckily, the key is tethered to the life jacket. When she fell off the jet ski just went in a circle. Unluckily, her head hit the water rather hard and now her sunglasses are at the bottom of the lake. I would like to say that she learned something, like to slow down. I am pretty sure she didn't and would do ita all over again if she had the chance. Now she has something to keep her sunglasses attached to her head.
