Surf's Up!

You would think things like choppy water, the boat breaking down and cool, cloudy skies would keep this group of men out of the water, but NO! Saturday afternoon was spent on Utah Lake and despite a few minor setbacks, it was well enjoyed! We always love an afternoon on the boat with good friends and Reese's Pieces!


Once we got about a mile out in the water, the boat decided to break down. And what does "boat" stand for? "Bill-On-Another-Thousand"! These things are so fickle! We breathed in a lot of exhaust fumes trying to figure it out, but with a view like this...who can complain!?



The clouds began to seperate and the sun shone through when Wes came to the rescue and got the boat started! Not having to swim back to shore is a very good thing! You are our hero! 



Riding the waves! The water was too crazy for 
Wes to let go of the rope. He does a wicked awesome ride though!

Holly and I really want to try it but on that day, 
reading magazines and staying dry and warm is much more important.



Bitchin' wave brah'! Just like a pro!

Just another day in paradise!

At the end of the day, the men worked hard scrubbing down the boat, putting all the gear away and cleaning up the garbage....while Holly and I made faces in the side of their Escalade! We do what we can to pitch in and do our part!

Awesome Amy! I'm so glad you got to do this. We just got back from the lake too. It was my first time knee boarding and waterskiing since high school!

The water is a scary color. Are your shots up to date?

Your faces in the side of the car really cracked me up.
