All the cousins (Colton, Cannon, Rachel, Lexie, Josie, Danielle, & Sammy)
We went to Flaming Gorge with Greg's family last week. My mom was nice enough to watch Crew for us (Thanks Mom) . Greg's parents, his sister Liz and her family, and our family were able to go. We had such a great time and it was so fun to spend some quality time with Greg's family. We wish everyone would have been able to come. (Just know that you were missed) But, we still managed to have a great time. We spent 2 1/2 days on the lake waterskiing and boating. The boys loved the ski board and became pros by the end. Greg skied so much he came home with blisters all over his hands, but he was so happy to do what he loves most. I skied once, and enjoyed watching the kids and Greg the rest of the time. Greg's Dad (he is going to be 67 soon) slalom skied twice. It was fun to watch him. Good job Ron. We were rarely at camp, pretty much only to eat and sleep. We enjoyed some great dutch oven cooking by my brother-in-law. (Thanks Steve) Greg's sister Liz has 5 girls (who are so well behaved) and it was so fun to see them and the boys get along with their cousins so well. It took a day for the boys to warm up because we don't get to see them that often, but by the end they didn't want to leave. Thanks to everybody who planned and made this trip possible for our family. We loved it!

I am so glad you were able to go with DeVries' and have a great time. You have wonderful in-laws and family. The cousins are so cute together. I can't believe you and Liz let those husbands cliff dive...I am always terrified of that. Glad they were safe...thanks for letting us have Crew...we enjoyed every second with him....love you all

Glad you all had a great time. Wish we could have been there with you. Too bad Mikes work meeting got in the way. Thanks for thinking of us a little bit while you were out enjoying the Gorge.
