Utah Lake

This past Saturday, Amy and Jared invited us to go to the lake with them.  We were so excited to go because this was going to be Mason's first time on a boat and his first time to Utah Lake.
We met over to the Hess house and helped load the boat, then we were off to the lake. 
After getting to the lake, we loaded all the kiddies onto the boat, put on their life jackets, and then picked Jared and Mom up at the dock.  Ashely and Mason looked so cute in their little life jackets. 

After picking up Jared and Mom from the dock we went and found a perfect place to swim.  I've never been a big fan of Utah Lake because the water always looks so gross, but after jumping in and feeling how much warmer the water is than Deer Creek, I'm definitely been converted over.  The water was so warm and as long as you didn't stretch out your legs all the way (the water was only about 6 feet deep) you had a great swim. 
After our refreshing swim, Landon and Casey rode the tube. 

 

Then Lydia and I rode the tube.

 

Then Amy, Parker, and I rode the tube.

The weather was a little windy, so the water was a little choppy, so we didn't get to wakeboard this trip...hopefully next time:)

While I was riding the tube our little Mason fell fast asleep!!  I'm so proud of this little guy-He used to not be able to fall asleep anywhere unless I was rocking him, now he can fall asleep anywhere and through anything.

 

 

After we were done riding the tube, we went back to the dock to pick up dad.  Then we went back out on the lake to eat our sandwiches we packed for dinner. 

 

Our day trip to the lake ended with this beautiful sunset. 

 

We had so much fun at Utah Lake.  I think it's even safe to say that Mason had fun!  We're excited to go again.
