Flaming Gorge, it's a lake not something else!

I know its been forever since we blogged but, we've been busy doing mostly nothing :) Anyways, so far this summer we have enjoyed a couple of trips up to the lake with Andy's family. It's great because it's only 3 hours away and SO beautiful. I went up there frequently as a child and youth but with the Athens it's a totally new experience! in a great way of course. With them we stay on a boat or camp on King fisher island. They have wave runners and other families come up that have smaller boats we can go out on. Plus the fact that the sun is 50 times stronger there, you can get tan quickly. I love that! We also did henna tattoos this time on the bottom of our feet(in case they didn't work!) Another highlight of the lake is fishing. I love to fish! Andy is the best, he always catches the biggest fish and just of the dock! Here's the proof...

After he caught this 3 1/2 pound rainbow he sent his line out again...well truth be told he was using my pink fishing pole! Anyways, he offered to let me reel in the next fish, of course I agreed. I was excited when not 5 minutes later he called me over from my uno game to get the fish. I was expecting a similar fish to his and here's what I was lucky enough to reel in...

I was so proud! The first small mouth bass I've ever caught. He was approximately 3 inches long! It definitely made us all laugh! And grateful I wasn't responsible for catching our dinner! Other highlight of the trip include my belly deciding it was going to pop. It must be camping that does it to you! Also my mother in law made a new special friend, you'll have to ask if you want to know more! We just had a great time and had a fun 4th of July weekend!
