Malibu Brooke at the Sac Boat Show

This photo was taken at the Sacramento Boat Show this past weekend. Robert and Brooke Beland decided to take a Father-daughter trip to the show to check out the new '09 Malibu boats. Brooke was partial to the new Wakesetter VLX Larson Marine had on the floor. Maybe that was because her dad couldn't stop checking it out! Good to see you two at the show!
