As I've mentioned before, Steven & Hill are in town, so we planned a boating trip for all day Thursday. We missed Matt & Scott's families, but the grandparents came up and Kristine came with her boys (driven by Andrew-YIKES!).
When we first got there, Mike and Brandon had fun throwing rocks into the water. Jace made a little sand castle.
Everyone was able to get a some good ski runs in. Amanda even skied for a lot longer! We were so proud of her. Thanks to Grandma for taking pictures as I was stuck on the shore. Mike and Amanda helped Jace get up skiing, too! The girls had a great time telling me about Grandpa skiing and knee-boarding. They kept telling me about his cool 360's.
Hillary, Abi, Brandon and I had a good time playing on the beach and in the water. The kids would run out and plop down on their bums laughing! We knew that we had had too much fun when Steven came down with heat stroke! He was sick enough to call it a day. So, Hillary loaded up their cute little girls (we had fun meeting Emma! What a doll! Pictures to come eventually as my camera was with Grandma). Brock got a fat lip and a cut from his last ski and Brandon has a red mark from getting bumped by the knee-board. We came home happy, but very tired!
We were sad to think that this might be our last boat trip this season. Mike has to be out of town on business next week and the girls start school on the 29th. We may sneak one more in if we are lucky, but are grateful to have been able to spend so much time boating this year and we are thrilled that Amanda can ski!

We are sorry to hear this is causing such stress for you guys right now. My philosophy is to trust the feelings you have in your gut, and pray about it. I know that you have been praying, and maybe the uneasy feeling is the answer. We know that it is important to be cordial with those in the ward, but most of the time the friendships are forced. Keep in mind that family is most important, and if you don't like the influences of these people on your kids, then that is your answer. So, that is our opinion, not that we know it all, but we are outsiders looking in with fresh eyes.
ps South East West Jordan is nice!
