PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 As many of you know, my Mama has been watching the jet skis go by on the lake. Every time she has seen one she says, "that looks like fun!" Chris's friend heard her say that the other day, so he brought the jet ski over for her to go for a ride! She was so excited. She got her bathing suit on and was ready to go!This is her response afterwards, sorry it's turned the wrong way I couldn't figure out how to rotate it on photobucket.http://s1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa323/puretcrazy/?action=view¤t=photobucket-1186-1339864284633.mp4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 At 92 my grandmother was riding on the back of my cousin's motorcycle. She reminds me so much of your mother (yes, I know my gm was much older, but they both share same spunk)! PureTcrazy...rita 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I thought this trip on the jet ski would satisfy her and we would hear the end of "that looks like fun" now she is already on the "that was fun, we need one of those!" She has told me that at least 5 times already! I sure love her! Thanks y'all for letting me share the joy she brings to our lives with y'all! She is so excited about seeing everyone at "Fort Fiends" this year, as she calls the Fort! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Rita-Your Mama rocks!Thanks for sharing.I have a question for you-What is that contraption in the back of this photo?It looks like a raft on a surfboard:What is that, like a couch that you can sit on in the lake?I have never seen such a thing.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Thanks, Mama is fun!That contraption is also known as "the Isle of Rita!" It is a huge floating island. It seats at least 6-8 folks and has 2 built in coolers! It serves no purpose other than relaxation and fun! As you can see from the pic, the wing parts are just a platform to make it easier to get up on. It has places to tie your anchor, so you can float out and put the anchor down and just relax!Here is a better view: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 That sure does look relaxing, even more so if there are beverages in the cooler! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 That sure does look relaxing, even more so if there are beverages in the cooler!Aaron, you are welcome to come drink a cold beverage relax on the island anytime! We are only about 35-45 minutes off of I-10. If you come through Alabama on your way down, stop by and visit! If you go through Georgia and I75 you will miss us.

PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 We got ours at Sam's for $139. This was a good deal. As the same one on Amazon is a good bit more. http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Lagoon-Floating-Island-Inflated/dp/B007A52ZD8/ref=sr_1_5?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1340032955&sr=1-5&keywords=island+floatWhen you enter the Sam's Club, you should see one hanging from the ceiling near the grill/patio stuff area. I guess it was some kind of special promotion. They still had them in the Tallahassee and Panama City stores when I was there last. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stefa70 205 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I love the Isle of Rita...though that looks like Chris on it. I hope you charged him. We had two round ones about that size, and loved them. I may have a use for one.TCDThey are perfect for floating down Rainbow!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Aaron, you are welcome to come drink a cold beverage relax on the island anytime! We are only about 35-45 minutes off of I-10. If you come through Alabama on your way down, stop by and visit! If you go through Georgia and I75 you will miss us.We come down I-75, but that is a wonderful offer! I have heard of an alternative route through Alabama that is roughly the same time but never researched it. Last time I was in the Yellowhammer State, I was playing baseball on a southern trip. We played a doubleheader against Shoals CC before retreating North to Tennessee! I think that's in Muscle Shoals?My wife's maternal grandparents and family all come from that area also. They moved to Michigan after her grandfather got back from World War II (Pacific). He got a job in one of the auto factories in Flint, MI. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 They are perfect for floating down Rainbow!!Great minds think alike. I am surpised that I have not seen one of these before.Thanks for the information, Rita. That sounds like a pretty good deal for something that size!TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
