AUGUST BOATING


For some reason I love this picture.  Grain dust in the air mixed with the sun going down and Jeff's ski tracks in the water...nice pic!


Jeff doing what he loves!








Ammon finally decided he wanted to try water skiing.


Kellan wanted to ride with daddy on the "skater board".


I don't think Kells really knew what he was getting himself into.


Starting to have some fun now...he even waved at us.








After 11 years of being married to a water skier I finally decided to give slalom skiing a try.

Me trying to make a spray for the camera...not looking too good yet.  I need a lot more practice.


Ammon loves jumping into the lake.

We have spent a lot of time out at the lake this month and have enjoyed every minute of it. They kids love to go and it has been really nice to spend so much time outside this summer. 

BEAR LAKE IN AUGUST


Bonkin and Kellan having fun in the water








Ammon decided to ditch us and go to Flaming Gorge to go fishing with Papa, Uncle Gib and Charlie.  He ended up having a blast and he was able to catch a few fish. He had so much fun hanging out with the fishermen. 

WHO LIKES CAMPING?














They sure enjoyed their hot chocolate in the morning.

KIDS VACATION AT THE FARM


Mom and I took the kids to the Caribou County Fair. The kids favorite part was getting their faces painted.


Ammon at the World's Largest Captive Geyser.  Good Ole Soda!


They have learned to drive the gator and they are crazy drivers.



Fun on the paddle boat...not to mention exhausting on my part.  Ammon's legs weren't quite long enough to reach the peddles so I got a great workout.

BOATING IN JULY


Kris and Ammon ready for a wild ride







Everyone having a good time and enjoying the water.



Kellan said he wanted to jump in. He doesn't look to happy about his decision.


A little bit happier now that he is out of the water and back into dad's arms.


Uncle Tay was able to make him really happy by wrapping him up in a warm towel.


We had so much fun!

BEAR LAKE IN JULY


Kristy and I took the kids out in the boat on a warm sunny afternoon. We were having a great time playing in the water and relaxing in the boat. The kids and Kristy were playing in the water while the winds were starting to pick up. Before we knew it...chaos began! Ammon's tube blew away so I got to the front of the boat and snatched it before the wind took it away. Meanwhile Kristy, Burklee, and Ammon were getting further away from the boat and Ammon began to panic. Kellan was in a tube tied to the boat so I assumed he was safe and dove in after Ammon. After reaching Ammon I looked up and realized the boat was getting pushed pretty fast by the wind. Kellan's tube was leaning back and I could just picture him getting flipped upside down. Then I started to panic. I looked back at Kristy and she had the same look of panic on her face so I yelled to Kris to grab Ammon. I took off swimming as hard and as fast as I could for the boat to rescue Kellan before he and the boat got out of reach. I finally got there completely exhausted. I got him out of the tube and into the boat. Meanwhile Kristy had Ammon holding her leg while she swam for the boat. She had instructed Ammon to hold on the Burklee's tube. They all made it to the boat. Once they were in the boat we all took a deep breath and could finally relax for a minute before we decided to get the boat out of the water. It was quite the adventure!


Kellan sporting his glasses while having lunch on the beach. He got quite a few looks.



The boys enjoyed their sand toys. I do not know how they were able to sit on that hot sand.

Relaxing with Aunt Kris

We love going to Bear Lake. It is so relaxing and not to mention beautiful. Wish we could go more often.
