.Boating.

 Boating is my favorite thing to do in the summer.My dad's boat was given to him from his dad and has made it through a lot. Every summer we cross our fingers that the engine will start up a again, and it hasn't failed us yet. I remember as a little girl closing my eyes as Dad zoomed across the lake, feeling the water droplets on my sun baked skin and knowing that this is what heaven would feel like.


 When I met B and found out he loved the lake just as much as I did, I knew it was meant to be :) I love watching B ski and wake board almost as much as I love being out there myself, he is SO good! We went out for an early run on Saturday for the first time ALL year!
                                                                  !It was INCREDIBLE!
 I was a little nervous I wouldn't be able to get up on one ski but I did it on my FIRST TRY! (no one needs  to know it was the easy up ski) Can't wait to get out a couple more times before the summer is over!

.Summer Happenings.

This Summer has FLOWN by! I have loved being able to spend all of it with Brady, even though I do miss hiking up Machu Pichu and petting baby llamas, it is great to be in Utah. We have been able to go on a few fun vacations and trips. One night we decided to go find a spot up in the canyon for a fun sporadic camping trip. We found a GORGEOUS spot right by the river and had fun playing cards and snacking on yummy treats. We had some more fun making hobo dinners and making too many s'mores with our good friends the Riley's.

We were also able to go to Lake Tahoe with my side of the family. We spent our time playing corn hole, repelling from the loft and taking polar bear swims in the lake. I loved making origami sail boats with the kids and having races. The hot attraction was playing four square. Brad originally drew the arena to keep the kids busy but it ended up being fought over by the adults too. We had some intense rounds and there would always be a line to be the next in line to play. Since Brad is now in Michigan and Sean and Mak in Reno (now in Dallas) it's a rare and riotous time when we can all get together so we cherish every minute of it!

Next destination was Durango for Brady's family vacation. We were in a ski lodge with an incredible mountain in our back yard that we would hike daily. It was similar to Park City with an alpine slide and the fun mega jump trampolines. We were on a new adventure every day hiking down to the Indian ruins in Mesa Verde and dancing in the Street after the 4th of July parade. Since fireworks were banned in CO due to the fire hazard we played with hundreds, not exaggerating, HUNDREDS of glow sticks! Brady even got his fill of Ticket to Ride pulling the game out every second he could.

We have loved every minute of this summer and are a little sad to only have one month left but we are going to make the most of it!
