It was perfect weather for camping. It got hot but not unbearable. The kids loved playing in the sand on the beach. They would find rocks and build 'castles.' They dug a moat around it and down towards the lake then they would run buckets of water to the top and dump them. Simon loved being able to lay on the air mattress that Sarah brought down to the beach. With the slight incline there he was able to roll over and over and over! Now he needs to work on doing it without the help of gravity! Isn't he cute with his bandanna? Hey, I didn't have to worry about his head getting burned!
We spent most of our time on the boat. We got up and went wakeboarding in the morning while the water was smooth. When the wind picked up we pulled out a new attraction, the surf board! This was so much fun to do and to watch. Who knew you could surf in Utah!? We had to make a HUGE wake to ride so everyone got to ride in the boat. Whenever we turned the boat around whoever was driving had to be careful not to submerge the bow in the waves. It happened a couple times though! One time everything got drenched! We didn't have a dry towel in the boat for the rest of the day. My camera became a casualty when that happened. Luckily my brother-in-law let me keep his REALLY nice camera to take pictures. He might not get it back! I love this picture of Dirk surfing the curl.
Needless to say we all had so much fun getting to kick back and relax. We wore ourselves out! (Hmm that sounds kind of like an oxymoron doesn't it? You know what I mean though, right?) The kids could barely hold themselves upright by the time we came home. It looks like we came home at the right time though because it is raining today. A trip back to the lake will have to happen again soon!
