A few weeks ago we went to our favorite boating destination, Delta. Sounds strange, I know. But there really is a lake in Delta, UT. It's not a very big one but there really is one there. My Family has been going there ever since I was little and still love it after all of these years. That is the lake where I learned to water ski on and am hoping that is where Hayden will learn too! We have been going over the 4th of July weekend but it seems to be so dang hot that we decided to go early this year. It was kind of strange weather but none the less everyone still played in the water. Well, almost everyone! (There was no way I was getting in that ice box!) My super cute cousin Kristie and her husband came up from Mesquite to hang out with us and they for sure were not getting in that cold cold water! They probably would have been in pants and sweatshirts if we wouldn't tease them all the time about being cold. When they come up to Salt Lake they always think it's cold when we think it's a heat wave! Silly Mesquitans!!Friday was great weather. 80's but a little breezy. We were the only ones there on Friday to enjoy that until that evening when everyone else arrived. Saturday morning we woke up to rainy and dreary weather. I was kind of bummed out because we had all spent the time and money to come have fun in the sun. So we started the day off hanging out in our trailer playing cards. We got to playing the game speed and my Mom, the cheater as I like to call her, was the big wiener(winner). I swear, she always wins any game we play so that is why I call her a big cheater(kiddingly)!! The rain didn't last and the blue sky's and sunshine came out. We were able to enjoy the better part of the day boating up until... the prop broke on the boat.My Parents have two props for the boat. A nice one(expensive) and a not so nice one. They had the not so nice one for Delta because the lake is not that deep of a lake and sometimes you can hit bottom. Kind of scary huh! Well it happened when they were driving the boat over into a little channel type thing to get over to another big part of the lake where all of the private beaches/homes are. So my Mom and brother went to town to find a place to buy a new one but there wasn't a place that sold them. My Brother just couldn't see the weekend being ruined by this so he went door to door on the lake seeing if anyone had a spare prop. Sure enough he found one and they let us use it until we went home on Sunday. What nice people! I actually told my Brother that it was the good Karma that was coming to him because he is such a helpful guy to others.Anyhoo, the weekend turned out great after all that! Except for something really strange and kind of funny that happened. I had made this yummy pineapple cream cheese cake and had it setting out on the picnic table for everyone to share. I ended up going to bed and thought I would just leave the cake out there, it was covered so what the heck. Well, I got up the next morning and the cake was gone, pan and all. Even my cute little Pampered Chef spatula that was inside the pan. I asked everyone where my dang cake was and they didn't have it. I thought someone was playing a joke on me or something. My Uncle told me that the racoon's or something along those varmint lines probably took it. I just could not believe that but he is a pretty smart guy so he went looking in the bushes and the empty lot next to ours but didn't see anything. This cake pan was heavy as the cake is a heavy/moist type of cake. I still can't image that these little rodent things took my dang pan! But I guess they did because I never got it back from someone playing a joke on me. I found it kind of funny because once we got home on Sunday Hayden wanted to watch a movie and he picked "Over The Hedge". How appropriate for us to watch this after my cake pan was stolen. Hopefully you have all seen this movie!All in all it was a good weekend and we are excited for the 2008 boating season as the boys loved it this year! The boat, the cold water, and the playing in the sand.

Sounds like you had a great time. I was sitting at home wishing I were with you. The boys are such cuties in their gear.
