Morning at the lake, afternoon at the river

We had a Young Men/Young Women activity at Yuba Lake (70 miles south from Orem) this last Saturday. The weather was perfect after raining and thundering the whole week. The Venture and Varsity Scouts had been there since Wednesday doing their High Venture camp, and the Scouts got there on Friday night. The Young Women arrived early on Saturday morning for boating and tubing. Families were also invited and we probably had around 50-60 people there. It was so much fun! We all decided that this is new a tradition for our ward: Young Men and Young Women and their families getting together for a day of fun before school starts.


Brother Carr brought his boat. He is one crazy boat captain.


Alex and Jace on the tubes...not for long. They got whipped around the lake going 30 miles/hour.


Some of my Young Women: Nona, Misty, Chloe and Hannah. Yes, Hannah, this is a good picture of you.

After spending the morning at the lake, we drove 5 miles to the Misty River Resort where the Scouts were camping, and floated down the Sevier River the rest of the afternoon. We had so much fun floating in the river with our tubes. Some of the boys jumped off the bankment into the shallow river while the rest of us got fried by the sun, or should I call it "the last tan of the summer". I'm convinced that the burned flesh will turn into a tan after a week or so...I'm counting on it.

I just love these people! They are such good friends with each other. It is a pure JOY to watch them interact with each other.
