I am going on vacation with family to our lakehouse. I would like to try to make a pyramid with my niece and brother. MY question is, does anyone have any idea how my niece would climb up to my brothers and mine shoulders?

Do we all start on skis and then she kicks hers off? How would that work?

a. kick one ski and step onto one of our skis.
b. kick the other ski and begin to climb up?

Should we try a "dock start" with her already sitting piggyback style on one of our shoulders? This might work best but I'm afraid someone (mostly my big butt) could get hurt if a fall occured right at start up so close to the dock.

I am sure it will take many attempts and probably provide a winning video for Americas funniest videos.

I guess I need to visit Cypress Gardens (is that place still around?) or something.

yes Cypress Gardens is still around and going strong. still has the ski show. i suggest you practice on a mat, first. until you all learn the basic balance, then you have to learn to walk with her up there. the water is not smooth.

Hey TD is this True? I heard Cypress Gardens closed up years ago? I was down there many years ago while visiting in Florida. With the great shows, (I watched twice in one day!) and scenic floral beauty, I thought it was fantastic!
