In August we took our annual trip to Lake Roosevelt. We were going for just 10 days this year (a short trip compared to some past years). Bryce & Elke were not able to join us this year because they were on a mission trip. The Ducoings were there as usual and this year we also invited some friends from church, the Gomes family.
The weather was not very great this year. In fact the first night we were there we had an AMAZING thunder and lightning show – like nothing I have ever seen before!! We all ended up huddled in the camper. (The Ducoings hadn’t arrived yet).
Michael and Kate were seriously beginning to question us because we had been going on about how great the weather is and how nice Roosevelt always is and how much we enjoy camping there. Well… long story short we did get some good weather for the trip, but mostly it was just an *off* year I guess. Ah well, we still had a great time relaxing.

We were able to get all of the Gomes kids up on skis which was great fun.

After watching Kurt and I wakeboard, Michael wanted to give that a try. After just a couple tries of getting up, he totally got it and went like crazy! We were all blown away by how well he did. I still can’t believe it! He even attempted to do the Macarena while wakeboarding!!

Once the Ducoings arrived we got right to the usual tubing, frog hunting, wakeboarding, skiing fun. We missed out on the rope swing this year, though. We did go once with the Gomes, but the water was too low. We never did go back again (besides… it just isn’t the same without Bryce!). The kids all made some friends with other campers there – Makenzie and Chandler. The food was awesome and the sun even showed up enough for us to all get tan. :)
It was a really great trip – soooo many pictures to share. Here is an album…
It seems like it was all over way too fast! Can’t wait until next year!!
