Flaming Gorge

Usually after our annual family reunion we head further north and stay a few days in Green River and play out on the lake at Flaming Gorge. We spend the day enjoying the sun, (or like this time... the lack there of) playing on the boat, tubing, knee boarding, 4-wheeling, and enjoying good food and company. Most times the wind kicks up in the afternoon and we have to head back early. But this year we were lucky enough to play the entire two days we were there 

and 

we LOVED it.

Skipping rocks.

Abi did NOT like the 4-wheeler.

Oh Megan & Kenna. These two are inseparable when they get together.

My dear husband took a 4-wheeler out and was gone for what seemed like forever. We finally located him but found that he had gotten the 4-wheeler stuck in a big mud pit.

This girl, my cousin Summer, was kind enough to pull him out... :) As you can tell they both got a little dirty.

Skipping rocks.

Watching the boys skip rocks.

Sure do love this big smile.

I was too worried to take the camera on the boat so there are very few pictures. But I did want to add that poor Abi did not like the boat however it sure did put her to sleep like a charm. :)

Sunscreen

Poor girl got sunscreen in her eyes after being at the lake all day. I felt so bad. There's nothing more terrible than watching your child suffer and not being able to make it go away. 

After bathing and trying to wash the sunscreen out we watched "Santa Clause" (her favorite movie at the time) to help her forget about her eyes. We had a few others who came to join in.

By morning she was all better.

Thankfully.

This little house...

At Uncle Mike and Aunt Jackie's they had a little play house outside in the front yard that I think Abi would have lived in if I had let her. 

Every morning that we were there she would wake up and immediately ask to go outside and play. She would ask everyone she could to come inside and sit down on the tiny yellow chairs. Ashton would join her and the two of them would have a ball together. I loved watching the smiles on her face and the excitement of playing peek-a-boo with the windows. 

She didn't seem to care much when we left and probably wont be able to remember how much fun she had but... I couldn't let go of how much she loved playing in it. So, let's just say we can't wait to see the look on her face Christmas morning and that we put in a good word with Santa back in September. ;)
