Jason did all of the hard work of figuring out where to rent a boat, picking it up, etc.! Thanks Jason. We got up to Jordanelle at about 11:00 and then it was time for boating fun! Everyone loved being on the boat - Kayla was probably the most excited. She kept saying - "This is fun!" with a huge grin on her face.
Kayla, Adam, Todd, Andrew, Scott & Brian at the front of the boat just starting out our day on the lake.
Kayla and Adam excited to be out on the lake.
Krista and Scott were the first to jump in the water. Gotta love the looks on their faces as they anticipate the cold water.
Ahh - that wasn't so bad after all. (Or are they just pretending it's not too bad to trick the rest of us into joining them?)
***Brian prepares to dive in with Scott & Krista while Adam & Kayla look on.
Krista on the wake board - this was impressive photography by Michelle, since Krista was up for about 3 seconds.
Andrew, Kristy, and Brooklyn enjoying the lake.
Jason shows us how it's done on the wake board.
Scott holds the orange flag - Scott took the first shift holding the flag. He was much better at it than me who had to be reminded to hold it up pretty much every time.
Brooklyn was getting a little grumpy - all she needed was a nap and then life was much better. Kristy hold Brooklyn. That's Jason on the wake board in the background.

Scott on the knee board.
Aunt Kristy LOVES the cold water!! This is a shot from the 1 time she got in the water - the knee board was enough to draw her in.

Scott takes a turn driving the boat with a little assistance from Brian.
Adam takes his turn driving the boat. (e was much less willing to accept assistance from Brian than Scott was. Fortunately he was only interested in the steering wheel and didn't notice the throttle or we really could have had an adventure.
Scott & Michelle on the tube.

Kayla & Scott getting ready to start.
Andrew & Scott posing. At this point Andrew & Scott were the only kids out. The rest were with Brian & Krista on the "beach".
Eventually I (Brian) got motion sick on the boat and spent a lot of the afternoon on the beach. Scott, Kristy, Andrew, Michelle, Krista, Adam, Todd, & Kayla all spent time some time on the beach. We went to the "picnic area" which had to be the worst beach in the world - it was rocky and then once you got about 6 inches deep in the water, the mud was like quicksand - our flip-flops kept getting stuck in the mud! Krista watched Adam & Kayla for a long time on the beach - Thanks Krista! She took them to the playground and had them making all kinds of "potions" in a sand bucket.We also had tried out the "nuclear globe" I got from Bright Builders. Todd went the furthest in it - clear around the perimeter of the beach and back. Scott & Andrew had the most fun - they played in it together and had a blast. I also had fun swimming around the globe and spinning them. Adam had a scary experience where he tried to stick his head out of the hole in the globe to pose for a picture and got dumped straight into the lake - with his feet still in the globe. He popped up a few seconds later, but it scared him and us pretty good.
At 6:00 we brought the boat in. We spent the next 2 1/2 - 3 hours figuring out how to get the boat on the trailer right and cleaning it up to turn back in. We had a few mishaps but eventually got it ready to roll. Since the boat was late, the Clark's went to Heber to Dairy Keen to order for both the Clark's and Huish's. The Huish's finished getting the boat on the trailer and drove by Dairy Keen as we handed them their food.
Thanks Huish's for a fun day and all the work renting the boat!
