Dear Jack,

It can be challenging at times to find family activities that you as a teenage boy can appreciate. Fortunately, this past weekend’s Hydrofest in Guntersville was a hit.

You were truly tuned in to all the boat racing action. You were fascinated by the fact that the boats used jet engines.

Waking up early on Saturdays is definitely not your thing. But you really didn’t seem to mind for something like this.

I was actually surprised how close to the water we were able to stand and watch, as the boats raced by us as fast as 200 miles per hour!

Love,

Daddy
