Flaming Gorge 2011

Flaming Gorge happens to be one of my children's' most favorite vacation spots. The scenery is divine with towering pine trees, and sculptured rock cliffs. Water sports, camping, boating fishing, and sometimes, rafting the Green River are among our preferred activities.

Rain or shine, we always have a wonderful time at Flaming Gorge. We especially enjoy spending time with Steve's family, and friends. We build memories that will last a lifetime.
Fun in the water.
Wake boarding and water skiing. Mike and Ben love to fish. Ben's fishing pole broke, which made Ben really sad. Mike being the kind brother he is, tried to temporarily fix his pole with some duct tape.
Camping, dinner, and enjoying each other's company. Night activities - "The masks, playing cards, and hanging out. Most nights the kids would stay out playing games until 1:00 a.m.
Tubing - Meg didn't like the double tube with Quinn. The other's had a great time.
Ben - the captain, and the beautiful scenery.
Boating - The Thomas' boat, grandpa's boat, and our boat.
At the end of the torrential downpour was a beautiful rainbow, and lots of mud. Sometimes we would hide out at Dutch John eating ice-cream until the rain would subside.

Depsite of few "unfortuate" events, we had a fabulous time!

Wow! Sounds like quite the trip, fun but definitely involving adventure. Glad it all worked out. I can't believe the key broke in half after all that. Oh man! You have a really good attitude. A vacation to remember for sure! :)
