Our boat week turned out to be a little different this year since Josh is a bit out of commission with his hurt arm. We still spent the week at the cabin but improvised a little bit on the activities that we did. Josh stayed at the cabin and rested while we headed out for some fun! We spent a day at the Lindon pool which is super fun and a great place for kids. My kids love it there and we spent the whole day just playing in the sun. One day was Beck's actual birthday so we got birthday donuts for breakfast and then met up with Brittney and her kids at Seven Peaks! My younger kids have never been and were so excited to go for the first time. It ended up being an absolute blast and a perfect day! We got there just as it opened so were able to snag some umbrellas and chairs to have as our home base and then dispersed from there. The older kids took off for the big slides and I spent a lot of time on the smaller things with Beck and Desh. But you better believe that by the afternoon, we were all up there doing all the big slides with everyone else. It was so much fun and Beck told me he wants to spend every birthday there!
The second half of the week, we did take a couple days and head to the lake. Papa came up and drove the boat for us while Josh wasn't there. So we all got to ski, knee board, wake board and "family swim" to our hearts content! The weather was just perfect and we had a couple of delightful days on the lake. Liev learned how to wakeboard over the wake (something he's been really working on) and Keen tried to do the same a couple of times without as much success. But he was happy to just wakeboard on the smooth water behind the boat. Beck is mastering the knee board and not afraid to go by himself anymore. Papa slept a lot as the kids were coming and going and was happy to just be there!
The last day on the lake, Josh came out with us for a few hours which was a treat for us! All the kids showed him the things they had been learning and were so excited for him to see. Rhen got up on the slalom ski and Desh pulled himself up on his knees on the kneeboard! Both huge wins for these two that have been working hard at mastering those things! Rhen is hooked I can tell.
Most of all we were so lucky to spend this week together, though it looked different than most boat weeks usually do. We're grateful for our dad who is healing from his bad bike wreck and felt lucky to have him with us on the lake one day. And we loved having Papa with us for the second half of the week as we played games and ate yummy food and enjoyed every second of being at the cabin and on the lake!
