Every Pioneer Day weekend (July 24th) we go camping with our friends, the Pursers. This is our second year at Joe's Valley. SSHHH, I really don't want to say where it is for fear more people will go there! We love that it is a small reservoir and not a lot of boats. It is PERFECT. It's quiet, quaint, and the best place to ski and boat. 
Justin's favorite thing was to jump off the boat, again! the kid is a fish with no fear. He loves swimming and loved the tube ride with Daddy! He was so happy it was going "fast". Kyle liked his feet in the water, that was about it. James loved kneeboarding. He even got a little "air". Kevin accomplished a 360 turn with the kneeboard and had some nice jumps! All in all, it was a great weekend. James came home for 16 hours and went off camping for 6 days with the scouts. His smell when he came home was apparently, "the smell of adventure". We quickly washed it away. It's amazing how teeth don't get brushed for a week!! They had furr on them! He had a blast and loves camping. 
It has been a great summer. We've done 2 camping trips, swimming, boating, skiing, kneeboarding, zoo trips, visits from family, jam, garden, etc. I can't imagine summers where kids are off to different camps all the time! Phew, we were busy enough! and not to mention two beautiful nieces that were born on the Potter side and Peless side! Congrats jackie/Kirk and Jared/Aimee!
And this is what we were privileged to see all weekend, the kid has no butt, and his pants are constantly falling down!
