Promise Rehab Boating Trip

On Saturday we went up to Pineview Reservoir for what has become the "Promise Rehab Annual Boating Trip". What this entails is Breck and Preston bringing their family boat and taking all of us out for rides. I don't know how much fun they have but we all definitely have a ton of fun.

We got up early and were able to get out of the house at 9am, which means we got to the lake at 10:20. The car said it was 70 degrees out and it was perfectly sunny. It was going to be great weather for the day. We unloaded the car and took everything down to the beach. Paul had bought a sun tent online that he found for a great deal at $40. We set that up with our beach chairs, a blanket, sand toys, towels, and a cooler of food and we were ready for a day at the beach.



We had a great time. Barb and her family came, Lydia and her family, Bob and his family, and Brad and his family. Most everyone was there for most of the day. We brought charcoal to cook burgers and hot dogs on the grill for lunch.

Colin was a bit nervous at first. I think he remembered not liking sand from our trip to Moab where he had a hard time walking in the deep sand on the trails. At first he wouldn't go in the sand. After awhile he had fun in it though. He played with his bucket and shovel, and his dump trucks. He was also pretty nervous about the water. He didn't seem to like the waves that would come up on shore when boats went by. He didn't really get comfortable with the water until after he went boating.

Colin got his turn to go out on the boat at about 2pm. He hadn't had his nap yet so he fell asleep as soon as the boat took off. After he woke up he went tubing with Paul, Brad, and Brad's 3 year old son Spencer. Colin was scared at first but then had fun on the tube. Paul ended up giving him his sunglasses so that the water wasn't splashing in his face and that helped a lot. He liked it a little bit more than last year. When the boat stopped the front end of the tube sunk and they all fell in the water. Colin didn't really seem to mind and had fun swimming to shore with Daddy.

A lot had changed since last year's trip. Last year Breck was pregnant. This year Breck has a 7 month old, I have a 3 month old and Lydia has a 2 month old. The babies had so much fun "playing together"!
