Lake of the Woods

We went to Lake of the Woods for the 24th-or actually just for a fun Thursday afternoon. Pioneer Day just isn't the holiday that it is in Utah-which was kind of wierd thing for us when we moved out here-the wards usually just have a pioneer activity. Our ward had a bbq at a park today (Friday) which was a lot of fun-but no parade, no fireworks and yes-all the banks were open. Ha Ha! My mother in law works at Wells Fargo in Utah and when we talked to her she was surprised that my mom, who manages a mortgage company had to work on Pioneer Day. Too funny!
We had a great day at the lake though, even without all the hullabaloo the 24th usually brings! Bekah and her friends playing in the pebbles.
Christopher filling up his bucket-if you look closely you can see the signature tongue out while thinking look.Ryeleigh spent most of the time in this boat with a friend or two.
Zach was out on this log with this cute little girl (who has a major crush on him) the whole day, standing on it, running on it, jumping off of it-too much fun!
It is about a half hour out of town and is a beautiful lake. Not only pretty, with a nice place to sit on the pebble beach-but the water is actually pretty warm so everyone was out playing in it, with the exception of Porter and I. I kept Porter under a blanket to shade him because it was so sunny and the rest of the kids played hard. He had to wear the sunglasses to get a picture, because he squirmed and cried when the sun got in his eyes.
