Summer Splash '08

Today Jerry, Grayson, and I all headed out to El Dorado Lake to help with "Summer Splash." Summer Splash is sponsored by Via-Christi Our Lady of Lourdes (the rehab hospital that Jerry worked at for 6 years), and the purpose is to help people with spinal cord injuries waterski and jetski. It's an amazing event. It's so cool watching people who are either a quadriplegic or paraplegic have so much fun on the water. Jerry has helped for several summers now, but this was the first time for Grayson and me. (Honestly, I'm not much of a lake person.) But, we had a great time and were blessed with beautiful weather.Here are Stacy (OT), Tim, Scott, Jerry (PT), and Mike (Marine World sponsor)
Jerry got to ride along with Scott, who had a spinal cord injury about 5 years ago. Scott was one of Jerry's most favorite patients ever. =)
Nothing like two rambunctious guys on a jetski! When there was a lull in the morning, Jerry took Grayson out for a spin
Hard to see Grayson... but his head is right above the steering column =)
