East Canyon Reservoir Day1

Boating turned into quite the adventure. 
We had rented a pontoon boat in Arkansas last year and had a great time tubing with it.
We thought we would have a similar experience again doing the same at East Canyon Reservoir.
Not so. It was a much smaller boat and it was SUPER windy and there was not a prayer we were going to get much speed or have much fun so we upgraded in the first 45 minutes to the speed boat (which gratefully nobody had rented that day because they only had one). 
It was still super windy and so only half of us stayed and tried to endure through the bursts of wind so that we could enjoy the bits of calm. Our patience paid off and the afternoon was simply beautiful and we were even able to water ski. I have not been up on water skis in probably a decade. It was so much fun! 
 Samantha had so much fun she fell asleep with her life jacket on and a towel wrapped around her and stayed asleep when I laid her in this seat to help with the tube. Silly girl!
 Most of the crew before the wind became too much for some of the littlest ones. 
 Weston was driving and pulling Peter on the tube. Peter had to finally let go when his swim trunks were down around his ankles. It was a good thing there were only 2 other boats on the reservoir so nobody saw more than they bargained for. But, we all had a really good laugh at this!
 There was a lot of playing in the sand that took place. 
The boys started making a sand castle and wanted it just so.
So, the girls started to build one too and a competition was born. 


 I made this dragon around our moat/pond/lake.
 Well those boys were not going to be out done. There is a really big dragon in that picture; it is partially made out of the rocks on the left side. 
Me and my baby girl! She was a trooper with all of the sand, water, life jackets, and strangers. 
It was a day that started out really rough but ended up being beautiful!
