They watched, laughed, refused to give it a try themselves when I asked, and all but said I'm just a clutz. "Dad" said he'd show me how it's done, but I'd learn better if I just kept trying myself. "Mom" had the best advice...... carry it over to the shallow end where you can stand up. Now..... which part of the Cheseapeake Bay is the shallow end???? Not to overdo the "in law" thing, I will add that although they are stubborn and opinionated, they are also generally very generous, loving, sharing people..... just not very open to listening to and learning from others.
