More Family Fun at Flaming Gorge

Flaming Gorge with the Hansen's is always an adventure and this year was no exception. It started off late Wednesday night when an big white owl flew into the windshield of our Yukon. (we also hit a jack rabbit but that was nothing after the owl). Next day the boat stops right after we put in in the lake, well not right after that would have been easy but it stops after it has gone for a while and we have to try and get it back to the truck. (Mike saved it from the rocks). So now we have a lot of us there and only 2 jet skis. Thank goodness the kids love all the other stuff- cliff jumping, swimming, rock jumping, looking for lizards, playing on the beach, fishing, riding bikes, playing games, exploring etc.


Ryan on a rock!

Ryan & the other brother in laws decided Friday to take all the kids down the Green River. It was going a little faster than previous years and they were up to a little adventure. If you ask the kids there was kind of a power struggle between Mike & Ryan (go left, no go right). Instead they ended up going straight into the rock in the middle of the river and getting the raft stuck. Thank goodness everyone was ok. But everyone did have to bail off the raft (some made it on the rock) others floating down stream, water bottles, treats and shoes went everywhere.

Shalece relaxing in the hammock!!!

Thanks to Josh & Chantyl we had a boat on Saturday and were able to enjoy all of the water fun.



















As always it was a memorable trip- how many tickets can you get on a single camping trip- well we broke the record with 8. Ryan learned NOT to come home thru Wyoming and YES they really do give parking tickets to jet skiis. And Creed you just shouldn't be on the road!! And we can't forget the rain-- but did the kids have fun- you better believe it, they already can't wait until next year.

Mel, I love the look of your new blog! 8 tickets... that's amazing!!! I instantly empathize with you (as an insurance agent!) It looks like you had a fabulous time! What some cute little blonde cousins. Why have I not seen those girls before? Anyway, glad you had fun but Mick was glad Broc was back!
