The Min-Aqua Bats

I love this group of performers. They are a ski team that have apparently been preforming since my mom was born, They celebrate 60 years next year, wow. Every year that we come up we watch these guys, because they are freakin awesome, and it's free. The last few times we went it was a little predictable, but they must have gotten some really talented people, or just are pushing harder, cuz I was just in awe, THE MIN-AQUA BATS ROCK!!!!! Here's the gang, Shauna's face is awesome. My mom tried to hide in the last one so I had to get just one of her. . . with Malia.
There opening act has been the same since the beginning of time (ok not that long) They called it something like salute to America, or something that had to do with freedom.
The girls sitting on the rocks before 2 guys came slaloming in making a huge wave and soaking everyone on the rocks. We forewarned the girls and they moved back before it happened, the other unlucky suckas were a little cold.
See the Min-Aqua bats are the best, just ask Malia.
Unless of course you ask Bacon, she's not too thrilled about them, what a loser. (jk)
And of course the life to our party, the stealer of cameras, the texter of all who text, the Amazing James. Don't let Jon know he's wearing his clothes while he's gone on his mission.
And the pyramid.
And their amazing boats. They use to use Mastercraft boats but must have just changed them recently to Nautique. These babies turn on a dime, haul a ton of people and just beautiful. I hope someday we can buy a really nice ski boat, or just a boat someday.

These kids were bare footing (one guys went 3/4 of a mile), spinning, jumping and flipping off ramps, doing ballet, lifting girls, it's a altogether a really fun show. Glad we were able to go again. This video I know is dark but it's of their 3 boat which has sooo much power behind it (like 350 horsepower) that it can go from flat to vertical (literally nose straight up in the air) it's amazing. It does it twice, the first is hard to see but you should be able to see the second time a little better.
