Park City- Family Pictures

While we were gathered, we wanted to take family pictures.  I was out scouting a place to take pictures when I saw what I thought was a cool tree stump.  Then it MOVED!!!  It was a MOOSE!!!  I hightailed it back up to the cabin to tell everyone to come see!  My heart was racing for the rest of the day.  

 I am still learning how to use my camera, so these are still pretty amateur-ish.  I passed the camera to Mikesell to snap these for us.  

 I love these of Dani and Dave.

 I was so sad that these didn't turn out better.   I am still learning about my new lenses, and apparently the tiny lens doesn't do well for large groups.  The whole front row is blurry.  Live and learn.  I guess I'll have to make everyone dress up again so I can try again!  Practice makes perfect!

Boating - Part 3

Here it is!  The last of the boating pictures!  

Josh tried to wake board this time.  He gave it a good few tries, but didn't get up.  It may have had something to do with the fact that we had 15 people in the boat!  ;)  

 Dave showed us his skills with his wake skate.

 Dani tried the wake skate

 Then I tried the knee board.  I am NOT very adventurous when it comes to water/boating activities, so this was extreme for me.  :)  You can tell by the look on my face that I was concerned.  

 After a few wipe outs, I did get up!  It was a whole lot of fun and I was SUPER proud of myself!  Josh did a great job taking a ton of pictures to document my success!  

 Mikesell showed off her mad skills!

 In a stroke of braveness, Kaley decided she wanted to try the knee board.  She *almost* chickened out last minute, but she stuck it out!  Josh hopped in the water with her and towed along behind her for a bit.  He was pretty water logged and sore armed, but it was worth it for the smile on Kaley's face!

 Josh let go!!!  She's on her own!!!

 She was so stinkin' proud!  The next thing out of her mouth was, "wait til I can tell Max and Isaac about this!"  When did she grow up?!  

 Em showing us how it's done.

 Then, somehow, I was talked into wake boarding.  I was cold and terrified!  

 I wiped out so many times!  It was hard work!  I've never had so much water up my nose!

 Fuzzy picture, but this was the furthest I got up.  Maybe next time.

 There were 3 consecutive fires set by Jordanelle on Saturday.  We got out just before they closed the freeway!  We couldn't believe how crazy close it was!  It gave Kaley nightmares that night.  Poor girl.

 Saturday ended with the kids playing in the hot tub, showers, then the adults watched Hunger Games.  It was such a great day!
