We FINALLY scheduled a jet skiing trip with Grandpa! Thanks to Nate's FMLA, he was able to take work off (yes, it was totally a medical necessity). Grandpa really wanted to go to Bear Lake. We had planned on going up Friday night, staying in Grandma Ruthie and Grandpa Russ's Trendwest overnight, but there weren't any condos available. BUMMER! It was probably for the best though, that would have been WAY more work. We ended up going up Saturday, caravanning with Grandpa and Steve. We were pulling the jet skis because our car is better ;). It was a really fun day! I LOVED the beach there. There was so much room to play in the water without the risk of drowning! Jack was in heaven the whole time, with all the sand and water. He even went out with Nate on the jet skis. Erika kept herself busy with everything as well. She built herself a sand castle and spent a lot of time playing with Jack. She would stop to check on her little sister every couple of minutes too. She FINALLY got out on the jet skis with Grandpa toward the end of the day. Noah loved the kayaks. He looked like a pro out there on the water. He would ride on the back of the kayak with Luke paddling too- that looked funny. Luke liked the kayaks too, but made some serious progress when he requested a ride with Nate on the jet skis! I was so glad! He NEVER wants to go on them. And he had a good time too! When we got to the beach, Luke announced that his favorite part about jet skiing was all the treats :). We do have way too many snacks and treats between us and Grandpa. But it does make it fun. Bradley was out in the water all day. I hardly saw him. He spent a lot of time on the jet skis, lots of time on the kayaks, and even went off on his own to try fishing. He looked all grown up paddling away on the kayak with his pole hanging out the side. No luck though. Kelly seemed to have a lot of fun despite the dry sand. She did different things. But she loves going fast on the jet skis and spent a good hour just goofing off with Charity out in the water. It was a lot of fun to watch them playing together. Charity will tell you that she got a turn driving the jet ski! She seemed pretty busy most of the day too. Molly had her first outing! She spent the entire day in Mommy's arms. It was a nice change of scenery from being pent up at home, so we loved it! She ate a lot and slept a lot, and very little complaining about the crazy temps. It felt like we couldn't stay warm or cool and out of the sun at the same time... kind of a funny time of year to be there. It was a nice day though. I LOVED it! Unfortunately the sunblock I put on everyone didn't seem to do much. Most of the kids were burnt somewhere. Kind of a bummer. Nate was fried! I think I'm the only one that didn't have any pink parts. We started cleaning up around 6:30, didn't get out of there til 8:00 though, and pulled into the driveway at 10:00. Kind of late for us! But what a great day! Wish summer could last longer. 9-12-15
