surfin' Utah Lake

Josh and Meg took us out on their new boat early Saturday morning.  We stayed all day, it was so fun!!  Everyone tried out the new wake surf, it's pretty cool:

  • not very tiring
  • you are right next to the back of the boat so you can talk to everyone
  • pretty easy to get up (especially compared to skiing)
  • if you are good enough you don't need the rope... Josh was the only one who could let go

Even my dad did it, he got up every time, no problem.  He's amazing!  Sophie was being a stinker on the boat, she mostly just sulked on her aunts laps.  Later in the day we realized she hadn't drank anything and felt hot.  Meg took good care of her by pouring cold water down her throat and pulling her in the lake.  Thanks Meg!  We did get her out on the tube, she acted unhappy but still talks about it, "ride the tube, so fun bouncy bouncy!"  Tessa napped quite a bit because she didn't appreciate her life jacket when she was awake.

Thank you so much for taking us out on the boat!  We can't wait to do it again!!  

001After a quick rinse off it was time for Dan's birthday party.  My mom made him a birthday cake and got The Pie pizza.  Which is Dan's absolute favorite.  He starts talking about it weeks before we go to Utah. 

What a fun day we had!  We love our family and really enjoy every minute we have together.  Just 2 more days of our trip left to post!
