Road Trippin' It

After 6 days at home with Erin we packed up and all got in our car, hooked on the boat and slowly made our way up to Utah. It was a fine trip and I don't think Erin opened her eyes the entire way. It was painful, however, seeing us get half the gas mileage we usually get towing that boat! Was it worth it? Oh, Yeah!! We had so much fun out on Bear Lake. Chad put forth a stellar effort and finally got up on the wakeboard! Way to go! His core body temperature was so low when he was done his lips were blue for the rest of the day. Cory also got up on the wakeboard and quite easily I might add due to his snowboarding and skateboarding skills.

I think Craig and Tammy knew who the true Karaoke Champs were at the end of that competition. Or do we need a rematch??? The week at the cabin had more in store than just boating and karaoke. Lauren got to horseback ride for the first time. The kids and Dad explored a cave. There was sock wrestling, tug of war, playing in the sand and swimming, golf, star gazing through Scott's telescope (we actually saw the rings around Saturn!), mosquitoes galore, learning to kayak, a week of fantastic food and treats too. Thanks for the Coffee Crisp Auntie Gail!

Seeing my cousins and catching up was so fun. It was a joy to see each family and how they'd grown and meet new cousins we hadn't even seen before! We definitely missed Auntie Carol and wish her the best on her mission in Fiji. Can't wait until we do it again!!

I think Craig and Tammy were rookie sensations!! We may just be ending our careers at the top of the charts. Only serious contenders can pull us out of retirement! It was definitely a fun competition.
