I know it is already the middle of July, but we just barely got the boat de-winterized a couple weeks ago and this is our first trip to the lake. This was also the first trip that we were able to have with two happy kids. They are finally old enough to enjoy the boat and not freak out about the life jackets.
We were going to go to Jordanelle, but we did not have the insurance info on the boat, so they turned us away, but only after they collected their entrance fee into the park. Anyway we took another hour in the car to drive to East Canyon, both kids got their naps in during the drive. It was amazing. The water was great temperature and the water was at max capacity. I have not seen the water level this high in years.
We had an amazing tube ready for this trip. It was the size of our car and had to be tied down on the boat because a huge air compressor took 2 hours to blow the thing up. Unfortunately the key word is HAD. We filled the tube entirely up at home the night before, not thinking about how as air temp rises it expands. Right as we got to the boat dock we the whole thing ripped apart, we filled it up a little too high for this trip. The water was choppy so it would have been a great time tubing. I have high hopes that we can fix it and go tubing next time.
We decided to knee board and wake board instead. We even got Trent to try, unfortunately I did not get my camera out in time to catch this extraordinary event. Thad went knee boarding for the first time and of course had to show off to the rest of us who could barely get up.
Annie and I both got up on wake boarding, even though I only lasted a few wonderful moments. I am determined to be great before the end of the season. We had a great day at the lake. Thanks Trent and Annie for coming with us!
