East Canyon

Last weekend we had a great time boating and camping up at East Canyon State park.

Brit did a great post on the happenings. You can read them here. I just wanted to hit a couple of the highlights and post some pictures.

On Friday we went boating with Kim's Mom, Tim, Brett and Kim' Grandmother. Later that night Bryon went out on the tube and ended up loosing his shorts. It was very funny at the time until we realized all his keys were in his pocket, then it was even funnier.

After boating we had a great dinner of steak, crab, corn on the cob, watermelon and rice crispy treats. Thanks to everyone for helping and bringing stuff. Why does steak taste so much better in the mountains. Here is the view from the yurt at dinner time.

Saturday was spent on the boat and at the beach. Everyone had a few turns on the tube and by the end of the day only 3 people had not fallen off. Taylor(Brit's Friend), Shanae and Bekka.
On Sunday we decided we needed to have a "Tube Off" for the 2 older kids that hadn't fallen off yet. Here is a photo of Shanae holding on for her life

She fell off first and came up screaming for a rematch. Here are photos of the rematch:

This is on the way up

Airborne while we get past Tawni's head. Down in back!

Impact and Taylor coming off the tube

We had to call it a draw

Becka rode after them and she ended up skidding across the water like a skipping stone. Sorry no video of that.

Kim even wakeboard for the first time this year!

We had a great time and no one got hurt too bad. A lot of sore muscles but every one's chiropractor will thank me.

I am still working on how to convert video from the new camcorder so I can post videos on Youtube. Once I figure that out I will let you know.

So fun. I am anxiously awaiting video.

Usually a picture doesn't do the event justice, but in this case, I think it comes pretty close!
