We were so excited to get out on the lake today. The first skier jumped in the water to ski, and I couldn’t pull him up. The boat had very limited power. Back to the marina we went.
Fortunately, Johnny (my marina friend), had some knowledge about boats. The bilge pump wasn’t working and pumping water out of the boat. Also, the fuel pump was dirty, and may have had an air bubble in it. Johnny replaced the fuel pump, and we took the boat out of the water, released the plug which drained the water from the boat. We were finally good to go.
The boat not working wasn’t the worst part of the day. The worst part was when we were informed that one of the little cousins on another boat had fallen while wakeboarding and cut his cheek.
Jackson had a very deep cut on his cheek. There was lots of blood, but he was very brave! He was taken to Vernal to receive treatment. He couldn’t remember what had happened, so they performed a CT scan on him. He had a concussion, and a very deep wound that required many stitches.
Poor Jackson....it looked much better once he was stitched up at the hospital. They were back to camp by late afternoon. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get Ben to water ski or wakeboard after this little incident. We are so glad that Jackson is doing well!
Sarah brought back a nasty bug bite. At first view she thought it was ring worm, but after Jordan’s dad, who is a physician, took a look at it, it is only some sort of bite.
There were other “unfortunate” events, but I think this will be the end of my series, phew!
Stay tuned for the fun parts of our Flaming Gorge Vacation.

Wow! Quite the vacation!! You have to admit these are the ones that you'll still be laughing about in ten years. I think the only thing to complete it would be to have a snake story somewhere in there. :)
Haha! No snake stories. They found one in the store, but our money was locked in the car:) Too bad!
