Flaming Gorg 2011!

A few weeks ago we went on our yearly vacation to Flaming Gorg. For those who are not familiar with were it is its in north east Utah on the boarder of Utah and Wyoming. We love going to the lake!

We go with Abe's family and it's always great time. We had tons of fun boating, fishing, eating, and playing. Although we did not catch many fish:) Also the food was fantastic. My favorite was when Abe made pizza in the dutch oven. I will have to do a post sometime with instructions. It really was fabulous. That night Kenzee and I made a peach raspberry cobbler that was the best thing ever!

Here is Zander getting ready for the trip on his Grandpa Fitch's boat

Zander absolutely LOVED the water. He would wake up and the first thing he would say is water! water! He wanted to go right out and get into the water and play. We camped right on the beach. The water was the highest we have ever seen it. It came up 10 feet while we were there so we had to move our camp site back after a few days. That was even knowing the water would come up and trying to plan enough space so we would not have to move.
I must say it was nice to get home were I did not have to make sure Zander was not eating sand, getting into something, crawling under things or running into the water.

We also took our little motor bikes. Abe took Zander on a little ride around our camp and the look on Zanders face was priceless. He felt so big being on the bike with his dad. He kept wanting to take the handle bars and steer. I think we may be in trouble with this kid:)

Here is Zander with his Uncle Andy and cousin Briggs. Andy took the boys out on a walk and had them running waving their arms! It was hilarious.


 And here are the boys just chillen at camp.


 




Here is Zander with his Grandpa Fitch . We got the boys this little boat that has a mesh bottom. They loved to float around and splash.




We took a boat ride up to the dam to see if the cosway was open letting a bunch of water into the river but it was closed, which was kind of a bummer. You can see how high the water is up the dam! It's nuts how much water they are getting and you could still see snow in the mountains.

Abe also took Zander out with him on a jet ski ride. Which again Zander loved. I think he fell asleep on one of the little rides. Abe had him steer a little and the next day Zander figured out which button started the jet ski by watching Abe do it.

The evenings were perfect and I loved the light! This is Abe's sister Kenzee and her family walking behind were we camped. I like that this pic is not totally sharp I think it gives it a dreamy look and I love the sun flair at the bottom.

Here I am with Zander looking out over the water. Two days after we took this picture the road we are on was covered by the water.

Here we are as a family. Zander always wants to swing when we both hold his hands so it was hard to get a picture of him walking:)

Vacations go by way to fast! We had a great week being away from work and just being together as a family!
