Non-Labor Day...

Our wonderful friend invited us to go to Flaming Gorge over Labor Day weekend. It was a well needed trip for Casey and I. Our schedules had been hectic so a little down time was just what the doctor had ordered. We got there Saturday morning and had an amazing breakfast on the boats (thanks for the recipe Kristi). The kids swam and paddled in the air raft. Then we rode to the other side of the Gorge to find a place to camp for the night.

Although the beach we picked was far from ideal, the kids had a blast playing in the mud. It was quite amusing though, watching people get stuck. It didn't help that the mud seemed to get deeper the drunker we got!!!

We went to the Parade of Lights in Lucern to watch Traci's dads boat compete for the best decorated. The kids loved it. There were boats with huge metal and light sculptures on them. There was one of Nemo and another with a U for the Utes.

When it was time to leave the kids were crushed. However there are preliminary plans to do it again next year, maybe just longer. Thanks guys for an unforgettable weekend. We love you!
