After Matt's BBQ Friday we headed up to East Canyon Resort to do some camping and boating with the Turner's. They have a membership and we finally found a weekend we could both go. We got there about 5pm, found a spot, and got out camp site set up. It was more difficult that I had imagined to find a spot most of them were smashed behind the trailer spots with no fire pit or even space to put up our camp chairs. When we finally found a spot it was a small space total dirt big enough for both of our tents with a picnic table and a fire pit one down fall is that we were only about 5 foot from tents on both sides of us. It worked for the one night we were there but I would prefer to try somewhere else next time. Once we got camp set up the kids couldn't wait to go play at the play ground. They ran, swung, and slide.
Then we decided to head to the pool to both warm up and cool down. The kids were disappointed they couldn't get in the hot tub but had a great time swimming in the kid and regular pool.
Then we showered and headed back to cook our dinner. We had pre made tinfoil dinners so we got a fire going, changed into pjs, and cooked dinner then we ate by head lamp and fire light.
After we ate dinner we cooked some smores and pop some popcorn.
Then we called it a night. It was nice sleeping. I love when it can be hot during the day and cool sleeping at night and that was just how it was. Gracie woke up once to go potty but otherwise it was a pretty quiet night. The next morning we all slept til about 8-8:30 before rolling out of bed to make breakfast. The boys did most of the cooking while Steph and I started breaking down camp so we could head for the lake.
We had eggs, sausage, bacon, and hash browns. It was a great way to start the morning.
Then off to the lake. When we got there we had to wait in line to put the boat in the water but luckily it went pretty quickly. I have really struggled to keep my anxiety in check while boating I worry about everything I am working on it and hopefully I will get more used to it and get over it. Hallie quickly made herself at home relaxing and enjoying the day.
We went to find a spot to call home for the day. We set up the sun shade and unload the cooler. While we did that the kids played in the water.
Then we went to pick up Uncle Chris who had also come to join us for the day. The girls took no time to find a spot with him. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a great uncle like him.
And the silly face
Just as Matt got in to wakeboard it started to rain first just a handful of drops then to pour. But no lightening so we continued to boat. It was slightly crazy. It only rained for 5-10 minutes before it passed and the sun was back out.
While Matt wakeboarded I drove so the girls cuddled with Chris it didn't take long and Gracie was out. They were both so tired from our adventure.
By that point we were all ready for naps and decided to call it a day. We loaded up the boat and headed for home. On the way home Matt and I drove around a little looking for lots to build on in or near Morgan. Hopefully one day we will find one we feel is right but mean while its slightly frustrating. Once we got home I unloaded the boat while Matt ran to grab dinner. We ate our Cafe Rio and finished unpacking and doing laundry. It was an fun but exhausting weekend. Having the boat is one of the best things ever we have so much fun.
