Tennessee, or as our imaginary friend, Terrible Terry the Turtling Turtle, prefers to call it, "Ten-uh-see", is a glorious, fun-filled state nestled in the southeastern region of the United States. Terrible Terry loves this place because it is studded with sparkling lakes and rivers, perfect for his favorite sport - waterskiing! And he isn’t alone. Oh no, Tennessee is chock-a-block full of kids who love to hitch a ride on the waves too! While Terrible Terry isn't the fastest turtle on land, put him on water skis and whoosh! He's zooming past like a slippery comet! The kids in Tennessee love to join him. They strap on their water skis and, whoa-oh, they're off! They skim across the shiny blueness, sending sprays of water flying in every direction. They glide, they slide, they ride the wave, and they even manage to do a spin or two, just like Terrible Terry! Children in Tennessee are as diverse as the fish in its rivers. Some are bold, daring to jump high waves, while some are careful, preferring to cruise in calm waters. It's a sight to see and a joy to be part of! They laugh, they cheer, they tease each other, and they make unforgettable memories together. Just ask Terrible Terry, he's got a shell full of stories to share! In Tennessee, waterskiing is not just a sport, it's a way of enjoying the great outdoors and creating friendships that last a lifetime. So, if you ever want to experience the thrill of waterskiing, remember Terrible Terry's advice, "When in doubt, just shell out and ride the wave!"
