Utah Day 2 - Yuba Lake and Swig

On Wednesday, we went boating on Yuba Lake. The boat didn't work well for most of the day. It wouldn't go faster than 10 mph, which isn't great when you want to surf or tube behind it. But as we were about to end the day early and head back, it was able to speed up. We stayed out for a couple more hours and everyone who wanted to surf was able to.
Throwing rocks in the lake while we waited for the boat to show up.

Grayson loved walking Bo.


Grayson is so adorable!

Jordan was the first to try surfing. He kept telling Ryan faster, but the boat just wouldn't go any faster :)

Grayson spent most of the day playing with Bo, Kenzie, or me.


The tube on the boat was broken so we tried pulling people on the floating island Candis and Ryan brought.


People also paddle boarded

Grayson loved shutting the window and trapping people on the other side telling them they were in the dungeon. Then he would sneak out of the dungeon under the window.

Doug and Brian getting pulled behind the boat. They didn't last long before falling off :)

Doug and the floating island washed up to shore. Ryan couldn't bring the boat to him so Ashton paddle boarded over to him and pulled him back to the boat :)





Grayson helped Ryan cool down :)


The floating island flew off the boat so Jordan swam to get it. Then Ryan, who had been paddle boarding pulled Jordan and the island back to the boat.


Eva

Jordan. Whenever someone surfing he was sitting at the back of the boat helping them. He helped get them started, gave them tips, and told the driver when they fell in.

On the way, we stopped at swig to get cookies and drinks. My cookie tasted the same as the swig cookies Ashlee makes!

Utah Day 1 - Jurassic World and Lindon Pool

We went to Utah for almost a week to see Brian and his kids and Candis and her family. It was great to see them all!
We left right after Doug and the big boys got home from the Rubik's Cube Competition. We only drove about 2 hours and then stopped at a hotel. We didn't drive long, but it was nice to get a head start.




After a lazy morning (that did involve some weeding) we went to see Jurassic World. Brian brought Grayson, but after someone was eaten by a dinosaur in the opening scene, they both decided it was too scary for Grayson and left :)

Afterwards we went to the Lindon Aquatic Center. It was a lot fun and not very busy!
They had a flow rider, which the kids and Brian loved. This is Jordan.


Everyone waiting in  line.

4th of July

Kenzie spent the 4th of July with her friends. (Doug, Jackson, Jordan, and I were at the Rubik's Cube Competition and Coleman was with some of his friends.) She had lots of fun!
