Arrow Rock Reservoir

The week before school started our friends and neighbors, the Doelman’s, invited our family to go with them jet skiing and wakeboarding at Arrow Rock. We had never been there before and were happy for the invite, and Matthew and Kelsi were more than happy to join them. Below are some pictures of our afternoon, including some “unexpected” happenings.

The following picture is something you should never have to be exposed to on a public beach! Although we couldn’t believe what was happening, we couldn’t stop laughing.

These next few pictures are what not to do when you are trying to take out your boat on the beach.

P1010933  It looks like you are kind of stuck, maybe you should unhook your boat and try loading somewhere else.   Nah, we can do it.

P1010938 Wow, you are pretty deep, maybe unhooking the boat would be a good idea.

How many trucks does it take to pull out a truck that is in mud up to  it’s axles? Oh, about 3 plus a lot of shoveling. (They did end up unhooking the boat after about an hour and a half)

Time Our For Women…

Every year I get together with my mom and some of my sisters and go to Time out for Women. We try to go to the one in Boise (I love having people come and visit!), but  because of conflicts with the date the past couple of years, we have missed the Boise one and have gone to Logan instead. That works out well for us though, because of the generosity of Kevin’s parents, we are able to stay with them. Now having said all of that, this past weekend was spent in Logan at Time out for Women. We had so much fun and really enjoyed the presenters. This year we did Friday night and Saturday. We weren’t sure we would stay for the whole thing on Friday (3 hours) but it ended up being so good we didn’t want to  leave.
