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!

Ok, reading about when you were screaming when you fell in the water made me laugh out loud. You are so funny, I can't believe you still can't swim.

Yikes! I can't believe you went in the water without knowing how to swim. Very brave. We are glad you didn't drowned. We love your blog and it was good to see you on Wednesday.

Love your blog! and I agree w/Maren, I can't believe you got in the water! I know how to swim but am afraid of the water still...I don't like not knowing(or knowing all the same :)) what kind of water fish and creatures are swimming w/me. And I was stung by a string ray once...though that wouldn't happen here in Utah :)
