Lake Sacajawea

Okay, here are the pictures from our week long camping/boating trip finally. We had a really fun time, even though the weather only cooperated half the time. Dang Wind! Lake Sacajawea is a really cool place, thanks Mike and Katie for telling us about it! We camped in the grass right next to the lake and the dock and there was also a little swim area, which Malia asked to go there every day. Here are a few pictures of them enjoying floating in the swim area.







We camped with a couple of families with kids, so that made it really fun for Malia and Gunner. They had so much fun playing different games in the grass! Here they are playing hide and seek, it was hilarious! They would all take turns counting and the rest would hide behind one of the tents. Half the time when the person who was counting got done, they would turn around, and here came a line of kids running to a different tent!

Then they tried to play Duck Duck Goose, but trying to play with a 2 and 3 year old that has never played, it was funny to watch!

Then here are the pictures of what we went there for. I didn't even take very many, and there are none of me, but I did actually get up on the wakeboard and skis. It was the first time since I broke my wrist! And I didn't dare do anything, I just wanted to see if I could do it. Ian did awesome! He got good at jumping the wake that's all I took pictures of him doing.



We tried to get Malia to ski, Ian even tried to bribe her with a hula hoop, (she wants one really bad) and we thought it was going to work. The first few days in her prayers there she was praying that she could ski, but the days she said she was going to do it, it was too windy, and then she didn't want to do it anymore. We also bribed Gunner to jump off the boat into the water, and he did it! He got this cool hummer truck! He was pretty proud!

It got really windy a few of the nights when we were trying to enjoy the fire and the yummy dutch oven desserts! The guys tried to be creative and make us a wind block with the picnic tables.....

It didn't work. All it accomplished was to make a hole in the screen tent when one blew over. So we moved up to the parking lot where for some reason wasn't getting as much wind, and still got to enjoy the dessert!
I even made my family's dutch oven potatoes for the first time, and they turned out really good!
So despite the few really windy days, the trains going right by a million times a night and the little bit of rain we got, and for the fact that I was pretty much sick and wanted to lay in the tent the whole time, we did have a really fun time!
Which leads me to.................................................
