We headed out to Green Lake in Spicer, MN for an afternoon at the lake and then went to watch the Little Crow ski team show at Neer Park in New London. We spent the afternoon on the beach at Green Lake and then went to dinner Melvin's, which is right next to the beach. We sat outside and enjoyed the great weather and great view. This is the last summer for Melvin's as it has been sold. It is going to reopen as a new restaurant next year.
After dinner, we headed north to Neer Park in New London to watch the ski show. A full set of bleachers, a stage and concessions have been built for watching the ski show. All the members (upwards of 70) are volunteers and range in age from 4 and up. Many members of a single family are part of the show, and include the skiers, boat drivers, safety crews, and behind the scenes support.
The show included acrobatics, pyramids, jumps and barefoot demonstrations.The boats have between 330 and 410hp and can be pulling up to 2 dozen people at a time when a large pyramid is built. The bay is relatively small, so there have to be some tight turns with the skiers to make a return pass
After the show finished, the boats did a little showing off by popping some "wheelies".
