Flaming Gorge

Yesterday was the maiden voyage this year for our boat, because 1...Tony hasn't been here much and 2...it has rained almost every day here, except the last 3 or so.  Gracie has been wanting to go boating and poor TJ in his cast...he wants to go but also wants to get in the water.  Ummmm, how's that gonna work?  Well, Tony or I held his cast up while the rest of him went into the water.  Then when he got out, we wrapped a towel around his cast, so it didn't get wet while touching the rest of him.  Still not as fun as jumping off the boat, as Gracie was doing, but better than nothing.  Grandpa Glenn, Kim and Julene went with us.  We had a lot of fun.  It was a nice day and just barely overcast, most of the day, so the sun didn't beat down on us quite as much.  Grandpa even wore his captains hat.

We cruised for a bit and then Tony & Gracie got out on the tube.  And I apparently turned to much and gave to much slack to the rope and snapped it.  Way to go me!  Always something.  So, I took the broken span out and then Gracie & I went out.  Gracie giggled the whole time....except when we were screaming.

After we were done with that, we cruised and checked out the scenery for a few hours.  We came upon a nest of osprey, on a rock island.  3 babies were inside, calling for their mama. 

 

We also saw some big horn sheep....with little horns.  LOL

 

TJ was trusted to take the helm...twice.  He thought that was pretty neat, to drive a boat.  He did a pretty good job, only making my heart jump out of my chest twice.  LOL

 

 

Here are some shots of everyone else enjoying the ride.
