We had a great weekend at Roosevelt Lake! We invited Ammon and Nikaela and their kids and Michell and Mike to hang out with us. We had such a fun, nice relaxing weekend! Mike was nice enough to bring up his boat for us to ride. The kids especially had a BLAST! (I'll add more pics soon) Nikaela got some great pics and video of the everyone on the boat and the kids wake surfing with daddy. Brent is such a natural. He's never wake surfed before and first try got up and was a pro. 2nd time took Porter, who LOVED IT and 3rd time took Mason who was so excited to go but the cold water just took his breath away so he was crying to get back on the boat with mommy again. Dad took him anyway and just carried him. It was so funny to see mason about 3 feet about the board just dangling while daddy held tight to him and the rope. What fun!
Brent experimented once more with his Dutch oven Peach Cobbler and WOW was it AMAZING!! He really perfected it and cooked it just right! YUMM!!! Everyone agreed he made a delicious dish! Way to go Hon!
Here are my boys relaxing in the Hammock in the backyard that backs up to the lake. What a view! See what I mean by relaxing and beautiful.
On the way home we saw a ghost town and HAD to stop. Mason was asleep and I was ok staying in the car with him away from the heat. But Daddy and Porter had a blast walking around looking at all the cool stuff. Brent said P couldn't get enough and just went from thing to thing as Brent followed him around.
We also stopped by the Roosevelt Dam. What an sight! The boys really liked learning about how it keeps the water in and creates energy. These guys are so eager to learn and can't get enough!
One of the Highlights of our trip was hiking up to see the Indian ruins. We watched a movie about how the tribe lived everyday life and then how one day they just disappeared and no one knows why. Before the hike Daddy got everyone to stretch so we wouldn't get sore, I just love watching the boys jump at things daddy recommends doing! As we hiked up Mason just couldn't get over how the Indians just disappeared and kept asking if that was where they died (on the side of the trail) and then every person that walked by he asked " Are you an Indian?" It was cracking us up! It really threw them off and we explained how he's looking for the lost indians. Needless to say the view was gorgeous at the top and it was incredible to see how they lived and what they lived in. Daddy showed the boys how to grind corn and wheat the way the Indians did.
