saturday on utah lake

Boating is definitely one of my favorite things. My parents are so awesome; they made sure the family went out on the lake while Klane and I were in town. I love the dry heat in Utah, it's so much more comfortable being outside when there's no moisture in the air. It's so relaxing riding in the boat, being with family, listening to good music, tubing, surfing, and skiing. (Oh, how I love slalom skiing. If only the water had been flat today!) We had such a fun time with lots of laughs. I just really love these people.

These pics enlarge when you click them. It's more work so I only do it if I really like them. We're having fun playing with our lens, check out the sharpness in some of these shots! :)

I love this kid.

(okay, is she not the cutest thing you've ever seen?)

Quick Powell Trip

I've never been to Lake Powell on an overnighter, so this past weekend was a first for me! We ran down to the lake with my family on Friday morning to ski and surf for the extended weekend. We had a blast while the weather lasted, but after listening to the weather report Friday night, we decided to head home the next day. There were thunder storms from Saturday night to Monday afternoon! Shoot! But we made the most of our time there and it was really a blast. We relocated to the cabin where we spent the rest of the rainy but beautiful weekend.

Bear Lake 08

We took a weekend trip to Bear Lake with the Harding Clan. Almost everyone - Sara had to work (tear.) - was able to come up! We stayed in the Ross' condo and spent two days boating and enjoying each other's company. It was such a good time! We wakeboarded, skied, and tried something new: wake skating. It's like skateboarding on the water and Klane loved it. You wear these cool water/skate shoes and you can fly all over with no consequences because you aren't connected to your board. Good times. And of course there were a lot of crazy tube rides. Check out the pics by clicking on Klane's crazy wake-skating jump above. :)

Evening at the Lake

We loved trying out my family's new boat on Utah lake the other night. The boat is so fun and we had time for some crazy tubing and our first attempt at wake surfing. Awesome! We're looking forward to many more boating trips this summer. This is the first year in a long time we won't be going to Powell so we're going to make up for it. Gotta get that skiing in!

P.S. Running Update: I ran 5 miles today! Woo!
