Utah Lake

Wednesday night we had a blast on Utah Lake with our BFF the Knoxes. They were so kind as to invite us to go wave running with them. Ben and Rich are speed demons, while I usually get called "Grandma Kelly" out on the water. It was a beautiful night to be out at the lake---there were many boaters, fishers, water skiers, and of course, the beautiful murky slime-green water. But the sunset was amazing! We had a dock all to ourselves as we dined on pizza and soda and tried to keep Garrett and Seth from falling in. Garrett even like riding the Wave Runners---until Rich and I accidently flipped our runner with Garrett on it! In all seriousness it was probably the most scary moment of my life. The runner flipped, Rich and I were thrown from it, and poor little G hung on to the handle bars and went under the water, with the huge machine on top of him! I totally freaked out--the water was so murky we couldn't see anything---and even though Garrett had a life-vest on he couldn't float to the top because he was under the runner! Fortunatley Rich was able to get under and grab him--I'm sure the whole thing only lasted a few seconds--but it put me on edge the entire night. He came up smiling, though, and in a little while got right back on for another ride. We really did have a great time, and we're really glad Garrett (and everyone else) is just fine. As for his mother.......
