On Saturday, we drove to Yuba Lake (about 90 min south of American Fork) for boating with Mark’s family. Mark just upgraded his boat and he was eager to get it on the water. We were easily convinced to be the first members aboard!
The twins LOVED being on the water! Sloane was still recovering from her last boating adventure, so she stayed with Auntie Amy instead.
Mark and Melinda are great teachers and very patient. They successfully got everyone got up on their board. Cousin Zack wowed everyone with his 360* and other wake surfing skills.
The water is the most gorgeous turquoise blue! I’ve ever been to Yuba lake. It’s beautiful water!
Bear is the best napper. He took several turns as flag holder, then enjoyed a bag of peach rings and a nap. Best life right there.
Corbin was up on his second try and ended his run with a sick back dive into the water that was perfectly timed with the music uncle mark was blasting. Very cool.
This scene produced a terrible sunburn on the Willy who refused sunblock, a gorgeous tan on the one who used the bare minimum sunblock, and no change on the spf 5,000 coated ginger and the Willy who protected his face with a blanket
Zack took Esme and Bear tandem wake surfing. They weren’t nervous at all! Esme has such good balance they managed to let go of the rope and did a couple tricks too.
2nd nap
We ended the night in the pool. It was just the greatest day.
On Sunday, we drove up to Smithfield for cousin Ethan’s missionary farewell. He will be serving in Porto, Portugal. He wasn’t supposed to report until August, but they need missionaries in Portugal now, so they moved his start date up several weeks. Like cousin Ella did with Mandarin Chinese, Ethan also did a k-12 language immersion program and already speaks Portuguese fluently. He will only be in the Provo MTC for a couple weeks and then he is off to Portugal! Congratulations Ethan, and hooray for another Willardson missionary!
Cousin Matisse, Uncle Jared, Aunt Ashley, Cousin Audran, Elder Willardson
Siblings all grown up! Matisse turned 1 year old when Aaron and I were dating. Audran just graduated from UVU, Matisse is doing graduate studies and working in San Diego, and Ethan is a missionary.
We bought Aaron’s parents old minivan 3 years ago for our kids to drive when they’re at school in Utah. It’s so nice to not have to rent a vehicle when we are visiting.
After church, we went to Jared and Ashley’s for a family luncheon.
Cousin Sophia L, cousin Avery S, cousin Claire W, cousin Henry L, Soren, Bear, and two of Ethan’s cousins from Aunt Ashley Hansen’s side.
Uncle Scott S, cousin Jackson s, uncle Steve L, cousin Preston L, Corbin.
Cherry picking at Ashley and Jared’s.
Ethan brought back some black volcanic sand from a trip to Japan for grandma Lynda’s collection. They labeled it with a sticky note and as Rob stood there, Janae and Jana and I were crying laughing so hard because he looked like he was officiating over a jar of Lynda’s remains. To clarify for the record’s sake, Grandma is still very much alive, and was at home in Daybreak.
A family picture!
I love this photo. Just a brother eating cheese with his two younger sisters.
We ended the night with a walk at daybreak lake where we ran into Aaron’s cousin Chase and his wife Shannon.
