Flaming Gorge

So we went for a family camping/boating trip to Flaming Gorge at the end of August. It had been about 14 years since Kristen and I had been there and it was a first time for the kids (and the dog). It was a great time. I had forgotten how pretty it is up there. Here are a few pictures of the festivities. Many thanks to Grandma and Grandpa and Andrew and Chelsea for use of their cameras (we forgot to bring ours), and to Grandma and Grandpa for all the boat fun.

The two bulls were pretty stoked about going tubing, they couldn't get enough.
I ended up submarining Mikey at one point and he got a face full of lake... again, sorry about that Jub.

Mom and Abby got in on the tubing scene as well. Doesn't Kristen look comfortable? I think the feet belong to Kristen.
Annie had a great time at the lake and finally learned to swim (sorry, no pictures of this). Here she is taking a drink before taking off to harrass people at other campsites.

Dad and the Bean taking it easy and holding up the orange flag in the interest of safety.
Dad did get to waterski a couple of times, though it appears we have no photographic evidence of this. Also, Abby, Danny and Mikey each tried waterskiing and Mom and Dad are very proud that they chose to be so brave. I'm sure we'll get them up next year.

Poor Mikey, he was so ticked when you dragged him under the water. My favorite part was that instead of letting him get back in to the boat, like he wanted to- as evidenced by his screaming at you, you just kept driving the boat until he was smiling again. Classic. That was a fun trip. Let me know if you want more pictures- we have some too. The best ones are on our blog.
