Fire on the Lake 2011

Cecil and Marcy's Dream Boat!  GO UTES!






One of the highlights of the summer.  Jordanelle's Fire on the Lake.  We've been going here ever since they started this, 3/4 years ago.  It is awesome.  Fireworks are beautiful, but they're even better where there are no city lights and relfect off the water.  Woo Hoo!  Melody and Jeff have always come up for the night, but this year as soon as I knew the time the park would open to take reservations I called right away and Melody got a camp site just down the path from us.  Our family friends the Burtons also were able to get a site in the loop down from us. I want to say the reservations were made in April, so for anyone that would be interested in this next year, be on your toes, cause the camp site sells out super fast!  We had so much fun and Melody has super energy and got the kite going, the kids were having so much fun chasing her. This year my dad and Cecil let me and my mom go on the boat to observe their patrol durring the parade of boats and firework show.  Kind of fun putting spotlight on boats and using the megaphone to tell them to get back.  The Coast Guard Auxillery helps the Park Rangers keep all the boaters in line and both Cecil and my dad enjoy being in the Coast Guary Aux.  It was so much fun and it's awesome to be on the water when the fireworks are going off.  So thanks to the Wheelwrights, Burtons, and Charlie and Jenny for watching the munchkins on land so I could be out there.   I also was able to braid my cute little niece Natalie's hair.  How cute are those big blue eyes????
