So all of June the weather was lovely. Then July hits and wham, a heat wave, I can remember year to year that July is the hottest month, but still I am surprised by the amount of warmth the 90's and 100's bring to the earth. At times like these there is nothing so glorious as a cool dip in a lake. Growing up we always went to Lake Powell, for the being years I was terrified of the water. I was sure a fish would pull me under, but by the time we quit going I loved it and would request it for a birthday present get away. I don't know why I was so blessed that my parents would actually take our family on vacation for my birthday but if I haven't said it before, THANKS DAD AND MOM. The last time I went I was 18 and I went with the single adults ward. It was fun but you know once you get through the teen years when your family "isn't so cool" and you realize that your family is the COOLEST trips are far better with the people you love.
I remember that it was all about devotionals at night and flirting during the day. I did make some great friends on that trip that I really enjoyed for that last year of singlehood after that trip. I miss my single friends and wonder what they are up to.
Well,the babies are needing attention, so I may finish this thought another day.
Congrats Colby and Corinna

I am so glad that you no longer resent that we always seemed to go on your birthday...you have to admit few people can say that they have spent a birthday like the one when the boat ran out of gas after hours and we all slept on the dock totally unprepared for such an activity...thank goodness you and I thought that we needed to take tons of blankets on the boat each day to hide from the sun...cold leather boat seats and bad sunburns in sticky swimming suits...bet it's the best night of birthday sleep you ever had! I miss the lake Powell days too!
