My friends and I had one last lake trip planned before our teenagers went back to school. It's been such a busy summer that the teens really didn't get a chance to take the waverunners out earlier. Unfortunately, it was predicted that there would be late morning/early afternoon storms. We questioned whether to go since (1) Utah Lake is notoriously dangerous in a storm and (2) we would have very little time before "late morning" since we had to get our other children off to school first before leaving. We finally decided to risk it and go. Yea! I'm so glad we did because the weatherman was WRONG!
Utah Lake was absolute glass - every square inch of it! The skies were blue but it wasn't too hot! And, best of all, maybe the weatherman scared everyone else away because there were only 2 other boats that we even saw all day. We basically had the entire lake to ourselves! So, thank you weatherman!
You can see that Utah Lake was a piece of Heaven yesterday. Here's the waverunner pulling a tube. Behind the tube, in the background, you can see the Mount Timpanogos Temple. Behind that are the majestic mountains of the Wasatch Front (can we say gorgeous?) and fluffy white clouds amid blue skies. Aahhh...heaven!
Alec loves to ride on the waverunners and he likes to pretend to drive them but he is completely scared to drive them himself! He also refuses to ride on the tube.
Katie Goins and McKayla had a great time on the waverunners, on the tube, or just swimming in the water - best darn mermaids I've ever seen! I think they had the most fun when they were trying to dump Zach Nebeker and Nathan Goins off the tube!
Zach (driving) and Nathan headed to shore - pulling Jill Nebeker on the tube. They had managed to dump her a few times!
Alec, Katie, and McKayla enjoying a ride!
Myself, Karen Goins, and Jill.
Oh man, that looks like so much fun! Glad the weather worked out!
