This Labor-Day Emily and I spent the weekend with the Wingfield clan on Lake Chickamauga.
I knew it was going to be eventful when my first tubing experience ended with me rolling off my tube onto an island in the middle of the lake. I had flashbacks from Labor-Day 2003 and decided to bail when we got too close to the island...only to wind up sliding into a goose sanctuary.- I was pulling grass and leaves out of my hair for the rest of the day....
After years of perfecting the art of para-sailing Jacksons inaugural lift-off was a success. Mine was not so successful. In my first attempt a gust of wind came and blew the sail into a tree. The second attempt left me being jerked into the water as a result of the sail taking out a light-post.Overall, we had a blast hanging with the Wingfields and are planning our next trip to go up in the para-sail again. Enjoy the videos!
