Utah Trip

I'm behind so now I'm going backward.  I've missed my family so much.  It has been 9 months since I have seen them so this trip was much needed.  I feel like there's only so long I can last without filling my family tank again.  I love y'all! 

Before we went off to our reunion we spent some time with Rod and Anne and Paul's Grandmother.  I was so glad that they invited us to go boating.  I forgot how much fun it was to spend a day on the lake.  Audrey was so excited because it was her first time.  I think she was thinking pirate ship, in her mind I'm sure there were great adventures to be had.  After all, we had just been listening to "Peter and the Star Catchers" the day before.  She was not disappointed at all though.  For the first 10 minutes she was telling me how beautiful it was out on the lake and asking all sorts of questions.  I love seeing the world through her eyes.  Most of the time I don't stop to think about the mountains around me and the blue lake that looks like glass.  She inspires me to be more thankful for even the smallest of things.  

We had an amazing time.  We got out on the tube with Audrey and she thought it was amazing.  There was a part when we told Grandpa Rod to go faster and she had to cover her eyes because she got a little nervous about the bumpiness. Overall she was loving every bit of it.  

I love wake boarding.  I'm honestly not that great at it but I love it.  It was only the next day that I realized that I'm not 20 anymore.  It was so sore, but every sore muscle was worth it!  I am hoping to do it again soon.  

Paul loves to slalom ski.  It reminds me of my Dad and his love for it too. He grew up boating the whole summer so he was so excited to actually get to go boating this year.   The lake did not disappoint.  It was perfect.  

Thanks for letting us come Road and Anne.  It was perfect!
