Where has our summer gone?

most recently...to Bear Lake...Pine view...Willard....basically any where that has water (and you understand that if you have been to Willard---blah!!)  Most recently my husband dream of owning a boat---correction-- a ski boar came true.   He has come to the realization that his body does not move as well or as long as it did 10-15 years ago, but he still has a few hot moves.  The kids have enjoyed the beaches and the boat.  Anna loves to tube.  (Don't let the in-laws know:  it is considered embarrassing for a ski boat to pull a tube, but when you have young kids...)  I even took Zac out for a mild ride.  I have done a little wake boarding--not much, but enough to say I can.  It has made for a fun summer, but I am tired and ready for school to begin.  Taking a boat out with four kids and a husband is a lot of work.   (Especially when the house is suppose to be left in perfect condition, just in case we have a showing.)

Last week was the highlight of the summer.  We went to Bear Lake with my whole family.  We all made it up for the entire week.  Tons of crazy kids+water+sand=fun!!!  I love it when my sister and her kids (and her husband--love ya Daniel) come to town.  It was not the most relaxing  trip, but it was a blast.  I love how the family can get together and drive each other completely nuts--but leave knowing it is all OK!
