Ahoy!

Saturday was our quarterly "Girls Day Out" with the women in my family. I always look forward to this time with my sister, sisters in law, nieces and mom, it is a great time to reconnect and talk and laugh and not worry about all of the "mom" things. This time we went sailing on the Great Salt Lake. I, like many people in our state, had never actually been to the Great Salt Lake. I always thought it would just be gross and dirty. And some parts were. But once we were out on the lake it was so beautiful! The weather was perfect. It was so relaxing, I just wanted to stay out there forever!

From left to right, my mom, niece Theresa, niece Stacy, sister Liz, and me. Where were you when we took this Kristine??

This is me and my darling little...great nephew (is that right? My nieces little boy would be my great nephew right?) He was the only kid that got to come, lucky little boy.

One of my favorite parts was sitting on the back of the boat and dragging our feet in the water as we went.

We even got in the water. I swam in the Dead Sea years ago and it was fun to swim in salt water again. Our boat driver had buckets of fresh warm water for us to rinse off with when we were done so we didn't feel too icky.

And one more picture, just because I thought it was cool.
It was a very fun day, I sure love these girls! I'm already looking forward to Girls Day in November!
