The week days seem to be flying by lately – I don’t know if it is because summer is coming to an end or if we are trying to spend as much time as possible enjoying what is left.  This weekend we spent our Friday night at one of the most gorgeous weddings I have ever attended.  Our friend Rose had her reception at the Grand America and we enjoyed some delicious food, dancing, and took advantage of the photo op.

She was the most stunning bride!  Dessert was macarons from the boutique bakery – strawberry and salted caramel, as usual.

Saturday morning was spent doing chores and anxiously awaiting our boating trip up to Pineview with the Treasures.  We met up in Ogden and then made our way to the reservoir to spend the afternoon.

Gordo, shredding on the wakeboard…

Me, taking the dip of shame…thank you Gordo for this glamorous photo.  We were only an hour into it before I had to pee.  But hey, when ya gotta go…you gotta go.

I didn’t just pee.  I surfed a bit…

…and tried to keep up with Gordo at his wakeboarding skills…

Ang, killing it on the surf board…

The lake was extremely crowded.  I was really grateful we had another experienced boater on board so that Zach could get pulled by a decent driver.  Gordo and Angie might get stuck with us boating every single trip if they keep up their helpfulness…

Zach dazzled us with his surf skills.

And since we both had already been in the water, Zach convinced me to attempt the double surf with him.  It has only been done [to our limited knowledge] by an adult and a child.  But since Zach and I are both small, he was convinced that we could do it together.  Does this look like the face of a trusting wife:

You bet!  We got up our first try and managed to cruise a bit while waving at the boaters passing by.

Gordo gave surfing a go as well.

We snacked, lounged, and talked until the sun went down.

We packed everything up and pulled the boat off the water so we could enjoy a late slice of pie at Lucky Slice.

We love the Treasures, and are so glad they are so willing to go along with our last minute weekend plans.  Thanks Angie and Jordan for being such fun boating buddies!

Sunday after church was spent dining at Mark and Jeanene’s for a summer feast.  After dinner we stopped by Classic Skating to celebrate our nephew Tommy’s 8th birthday!  It was great to see some family and visit with our nieces and nephews.

We hope to participate in a few more summer activities before fall arrives, but are looking forward to some cooler temps!  Fall will be welcomed with open arms.
