Family Reunion at Bear Lake - Boating Day and Family Home History (need photos)

 Oh what a happy day!

I'm so excited for this day - I'm like a kid in a candy shop.  I've been looking forward to boating with the kids for EVER!!!

We got down to the dock a little late (did not make me happy - but oh well what can you do with 10 people).  I signed everything and paid everything and okayed everything  - okay let's go already!!!  I rented a 17 person Wakeboard boat, along with a tube for 3 people, wake board and wake surfer.  

Mark was designated driver of the boat - he wanted to stay in the shade. 

After I got everyone loaded up on the boat, I ran over to another dock (didn't know they weren't together) to rent the Seadoo Jet Ski.  Oh my goodness!  I love the power and speed of the Seadoo Jet Ski. 

I rented the boat and Jet Ski from 10 - 4:00 PM (should have done it longer).

Everyone had a chance to ride the Jet Ski and everyone had a chance to ride the boat!

I loved watching everyone have a blast.  Unfortunately, Devon got a little sea sickness, but nothing too bad.  He laid down in the front of the boat.

Robert, Michael and Tate did the Wake Board

Robert, Michael, Tate, Sierra, and Marissa did the Wake Surfer.  Tate was so kind - he was trying to help me get it, but I was the last to go, and we ran out of time before I could get up on the board.

Robert drove the boat while Mark and I were riding the tube.  He went, what felt super fast.  It was all fun until we crossed the wake and I went flying.  When I hit the water I heard something crack in my neck.  I went into shock/panic.  I was shaking and so scared.  Luckily, it doesn't seem to be anything of importance.

ALL in ALL - A Super fantastic day!

Devon and Sierra had Pasta Dinner for us that night - oh wow - it was perfect - we were all so hunger from a long day on the lake.

My dad and Alison came over for dinner.  They were excited to be with us and I was super excited that they could be with us.  Dinner was a little crazy because we didn't have all the ingredients, but it worked out.  

After dinner we my dad share his childhood experiences and then we went around the room having each person ask him one question - we went around twice.  Any question about work took a long time to answer.  He loved his work.  It gave him a great sense of value and pride.
