Boating in April

We went boating...in Utah...in April.  I know.  It shouldn't be possible!  For surely there should be snow or even ice on the ground!  But no, it was almost 80 degrees last Saturday.  Greg's best, excuse me, ONE of his best friends invited us to go boating at Utah Lake Saturday.  We went for many reasons, but the biggest one was that we hadn't seen Jon in 2 years! 
Jon invited two other guys from Michigan and their families.  He also invited his sister and her kids.  It was a full boat ride.  We were the first ones to show up.  We chatted with Jon and his girl (Rachael) in the boat until Jon's sister and her two kids, and Eric showed up.  Then the 9 of us headed out boating. 
Even though it was decently warm in the air, the water was freezing!  Jon was the first in, to do some wake boarding.  Greg was next.  This was only his second time trying wake boarding with his first time resulting in excruciating back pain for weeks afterwards.  Jon was a good coach and teacher though, and Greg was up within a few tries. 
Then the kids thought they wanted to get in for a little swimming.  After much coaxing and even some bribing Jon's nephew and niece got in.  Collin didn't need the coaxing or bribing, but after getting in up to his bum, he was done.  Too cold.  "Cold.  Brrrr! Mama!" he said.  Since Greg hadn't fully gotten out of the water yet, he swam with the other kiddos. 
After they got their fill we headed back to the dock.  Collin fell asleep in my arms on the ride there.  It's been SO long since he did that!  I loved it!  We dropped off Jon's sister and picked up Jeremy and his family (wife, baby, sister-in-law and her husband).  So with 10 people and a dog on board we headed out again.  This time Jeremy and Greg were the ones to brave the cold water and wake board. 
I had slathered Collin with sunscreen, and reapplied when he woke up our second time on the lake.  But I forgot to apply any to myself or Greg.  My make up has sunscreen in it, so I think that's why my sunburn was minimal on my face.  My arms got the brunt of it, with my knees each getting a red patch.  Greg's face and arms were a deep shade of red, but they're already turning brown.
After boating we went to the Provo Mall while Jon ran an errand for his job, and then met up again at Red Robin for dinner.  We had a blast!  Good food, catching up with friends, sun and water.  It was a great day!

Here's the pictures: (sorry I didn't get a ton.  We forgot to get Collin a life vest(shhh!  Don't tell!), so I was more concerned about him falling in.)

Huzzah!  He's up!
