Annual trip to Flaming Gorge

Flaming gorge was just as beautiful as it always is. This year, we were a little handicapped since Carl had just had surgery two weeks prior to the trip, but he "mustered" through and we certainly enjoyed being with family. We stayed at the same little place we have since 2007. Prior to that we had stayed in a couple of different campsites. Twisted Timber Outpost is fantastic. Really rustic log cabins hewn from timber the owner himself cut and constructed. Really nice accommodations and and even better people!

We only did one trip down the river in the rafts, since the water was a little slow and it started raining. The "gang" was anxious to get to the caves to explore. We had boating, sking, wakeboard, tubing, knee boards, etc in the water. .Some just hanging out at the beach.....

                                                           Hiking was done by some

and extreme ATV ride by Pappaw and me!!!! I felt like I was riding a bucking bronco going over those BOULDERS!!!!

We did take it slow, but I can't say that it was easy. (Easy for the atv, but not on an old body, LOL) Thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

Next stop was Colorado to see Tyler, Ann and little Addie Grae whoi could not make it this year due to work and illness. I cannot believe how much she is growing. She had to show us her little acrobatics and her artwork! Sigh.....she is so adorable. Looks so much like Tyler and Ann both...great combination. We had to get our sandwich kisses in while we could, then we had to head back to Texas.

More beautiful memories made...............................................................
