Remember Lazy River Days?



I remember the days soaking in the sun at what my family called "The River". AKA Lake Havasu. When I was a kid we went at least 4 times a year. But it's been a long time since we've done "the river" as a family, and I miss it. So--

Last week we took our little family to Utah Lake, and I had the same feelings creep up from when I was a kid. Here are some of the great things about boating:
1. You have to do something as a family...and you can't get away from one another. The only way to get away, is to get out on the wake board. :)
2. You resign yourself to a bad hair day, and that's not always a bad thing.
3. You figure out how brave you are. (Or who the daredevil children are...which can be extremely good to know for the teenage years. Sometimes parents need to know what they're getting into.)
4. No DS's, DSi's, cell phones allowed.
5. You get to laugh, talk people into doing things they don't want to (like wake boarding for the first time(bring along a lot of Twix bars, they work wonders for incentive)).
6. You get to plan your next trip...So. When is our next trip?
