Skim Boards, Paddle Boards and Bear Lake

Putting Birthday money to good use, Ryan helped the boys design their own SKIM BOARDS.
 

Picture of Perfection. They turned out like pieces of art!
 

ta-dah!

Time to try them out. Josh watches on as Jared gives it a go.
 

Off to a good start Danny!
 

Last weekend we loaded the boards into the van and headed up to Bear Lake where Ryan showed his boys how it is done.
 

There were actually quite a few people out skim boarding where we were. It was nice the boys had their names on their boards. I didn't worry anyone would wonder off with the wrong board.
 

Jared testing out the water.
 

The best part of the beach always seems to be the sand though.
 

I hadn't planned on getting into my bathing suit, but after 45 minutes sitting on the beach in a t-shirt and capris I couldn't take it any more! Too HOT! So, I guess the cats out of the bag. Check out my baby belly!

Baby BOY #4 is due December 19th. We are delighted, it will be a festive Christmas at our house!
 

After putting the skim boards away it was time to try out the PADDLE BOARDS! Ryan had fun teaching the boys how to get around on there boards. First they had to learn how to get on though!
 

They figured it out pretty quick. I think this will be a tradition for years to come.
 

Me, Josh and baby belly chose to chill on land. While we waited around, Josh decided he'd ham it up for my camera.
 

Don't look so surprised. :)
 

Dirty face and all (from our Bear Lake Raspberry Shakes and Ice Cream) he is still a QT.
