1st Lake Trip of the Season

Growing up Memorial Day to us was usually the opener of boating season and now that we have the boat we will hopefully continue the tradition. Monday morning we finished some yard work and pack up to head to East Canyon(it is probably our favorite place to boat that is close to home). Nic and Ky already had the boat in the water and ready to go. The weather was perfect and we were all pretty excited. Boating to me is such a great way to spend time together as a family and a perfect way to relax. The water hasn't had enough time to get really warm but we had anticipated that being the case. I think that may have been one of the reasons that there weren't to many people there. And we were completely content to lay out in the sun, float, and just visit. 

We had plenty of snack so we were set for a day full of fun.

Monday morning after getting up and ready I asked Grace how she wanted her hair done. She replied with, "No hair done today...please?" I was happy to oblige(don't we all have those days we don't want our hair done?) and once we got to the lake her hair gave us a good laugh. The way the wind caught it was so perfect. She loves to sit in the front of the boat and look out with the wind in her hair.

Rigs stole Matt's hat and insisted on wearing it. Matt caught a rare picture of him looking and smiling.

Shortly after we got there Hallie asked if we could find a place to have a swim break. All the kids got off the back of the boat and got 1 foot in before they decided it was to cold and climbed back in to play.

Gracie is seriously such a ham. This was her spot she just loves to be in the boat cruising around

Because of the water temp the ones of us that aren't crazy stayed in the boat...lol just kidding. Kyle thought we were all wimps since we wouldn't get in the water so he showed us how it was done by skiing and wake boarding. The rest of us just enjoyed riding and laying in the sun.

There aren't many things that I love more than boating with my family.....I think they like it to.

We can't wait to go again and in less than 2 weeks we will be in Lake Powell soaking up the sun. We have really enjoyed having the boat and look forward to all the trips and time we will spend together boating with family and friends.
