Jordanelle...end of summer? :(

Last week we enjoyed a few days of the lake with my family. Thanks to my parents and their boat and my sister and their wave runners, we had a blast. :) Lots of time was spent in the water with me trying to prevent sun burns somewhere in the middle. Rachel tried to get up on the wake board and was successful at getting out of the water. She is still working on the other stuff.

Rachel tried very hard to get up on the wake board. 

She will keep trying and get it by next summer.  :)

Nathan looks like a pro and was even up for getting a little tricky. Are you wondering why I am not out on the wake board? Yea, right.

The kids had a lot of fun just playing in the water when we weren't out on the boat. I did swim out and join in on some of that.

Emily and I had fun swimming together.  I don't get much attention at home, but Emily seemed to enjoy being with me out in the lake. 

We had a nice collection of interesting floating toys.  At one point Ben floated out the the buoy in a small baby pool.  Thank goodness for life jackets. 

One night we had a rather large gathering in my parents motor home to watch the Olympics.  It was a really awesome night of swimming, gymnastics, and gold medals. 

Sarah the Swamp Baby!

Sarah as the Sand Baby.  Sarah didn't really do much else besides get dirty in every way possible.  Luckily, I had a hotel room each night for Sarah and I to get a good night of rest and take a nice bath.  :)

 

One evening a big group of sail boats came out on the lake around sunset.  It was something to see. 

Can't be out on the boat without some goodies. 

And don't forget to jump in the lake.

Ben wished he hadn't.  It was sooooo cold.  :)

The entire adventure was wrapped up at the Dairy Keen in Heber.  MMM...so good.  

Tomorrow I start work again. I have a full week of conferences (Special Education Law Conference...boring) and Professional Development at the office. I don't know where the summer has gone. Oh well, we still have Lagoon, the Zoo, and a visit from our Washington cousins to enjoy before everything is really over.
