Flaming Gorge

For the 4th of July we went to Flaming Gorge with Jake's family. We had lots of fun just hanging out at camp and going boating! Nikson was so scared of the boat the first few times, but once Daddy got a say in it all, Nikson was having the time of his life on the tube and hanging over the side of the boat touching the water and then they sat on the back of the boat and fished and put their feet in the water! He loved it! We also went into the town of Dutch John to watch the fireworks! I love fireworks so much! They make me so happy! And best of all sitting with my two boys on the blanket and hearing Nikson say "Whoa" after the big loud ones!

The day we went home I needed to go out on the tube one last time and lucky me, the one that doesn't know how to swim and is a bit afraid of the water, goes 5 feet in the air over top of Jamie (Jake's sister) and straight into the water! I scream "help me! save me! don't let go of me!" and am totally freaked out! Thankfully Jamie and Gary (Jake's dad) got me into the boat and safe again! Its way funny now, but I have never been so scared in all my life!

Pulled off the side of the road on the way there!

Riverton Carnival!

Here they come down the slide!

Get me off this thing!!

I really wanted to take Nikson to the carnival and let him go on rides and eat junk, but low and behold my child is not normal and hated it! I am sure we had something to do with it since the first ride we took him on was a roller coaster!! Whoops! What mean parents we are to do that do a 1 year old! Then Daddy took him down the big slippery slide and I thought for sure that he'd like that, but he screamed and cried the whole way down! He ran off it as fast as he could! So funny!! Last thing we did was took him on the ferris wheel and he hid his face in my body the whole time!! Jake is sure that his parents did that to him when he was little and that is why he hates rides too! Must be a Thomas thing!
