ONE GREAT WEEKEND!

Last weekend we were going to go camping, but I was a party pooper, and didn't want to deal with hauling the tent, sleeping bags, cooking supplies, etc. So, I rented a two room suite at the Stillwater Lodge at Jordanelle. It was a really nice room, but we did have few issues with the hotel. When we got there to check-in at 4 pm, our room was not ready, so we changed into our swim suits in the bathroom by the pool and swam for a couple of hours. Unfortunately, their heated pool was NOT heated. I told the desk clerk that I didn't mind checking in late as long as it was okay that I checked out late (which they let us do). And, we thought we were going to get a continental breakfast (the desk clerk told us we were and online it said we would) but they stopped serving it a few days before. (so just beware if plan to go there).

Other than those few issues, the weekend was GREAT! Back in February, at a silent auction Rick was helping with, we bought a gift certificate good for the use of two wave runners for a day. We bought it for less than 1/2 price. So, on Saturday morning, Rick drove into Heber and picked up two machines for the day. We headed straight to the lake and spent the entire day racing around on the water. We had a picnic lunch on the beach. Joey, Ted, and their kids joined us in the afternoon for a few hours. We didn't even dump anyone off the wave runners the whole day. Our only casualties were a couple of kids dumped out of the tube (Lindsay was not a happy camper when she fell out of the tube face first). We were sooo exhausted and a little sunburned (Erin and Clay were a lot sunburned). We had to return the wave runners by 6 pm, but we were having so much fun it was hard to stop playing. We pulled into Heber at 5:50, just in time. We got big shakes at the train burger place to refresh us until we could get back to the hotel and get some dinner. After a sloppy joe dinner and some rinsing off, we played a good game of The Great Dalmuti until we were all so tired we could hardly think straight.
