Capsized!

A few weeks ago we headed up the mountains to go camping again.
We were only planning to go up for a day but ended up having too much fun. Alexa & I ended up sleeping over in Chris' trailer and Greg took Gavy home. He then dropped Gav off at his mom's early the next morning and was back up to our campsite for lunch. That is a lot of driving!
Highlights of the trip....
1. Watching the boys capsize in the boat. Greg was out in the middle of Mirror Lake in his float tube fly-fishing. Jim, Jayden & Corey decided to take the boat out to fish. Chris, Alexa & I stayed on the shore. About 10 feet off the shore Jayden decided he wanted to turn around and face the other way. As he started the boat really started rocking. Corey & Jim both shouted at him to stop and stay where he was "or we'll tip over". Sure enough, that was plenty to get Jayden to start rocking... ON PURPOSE! About 30 seconds later Corey & Jayden were completely under water and Jim was 1/2 way out of the boat trying to save himself. Mirror Lake is pretty big with probably 50 people nearby so it was somewhat noisy. Not after the capsizing. It was SILENT for about 30 seconds until all you could hear was our group CRYING laughing. I nearly peed my pants I was laughing so hard! It was FANTASTIC!
2. Highlight #2 gave me a whopping headache. Sunday morning before Greg came back up, Chris, Jim, Sierra, Alexa & I went 4 wheeling in the Jeep. It was fun for about 30 min then us girls were D-O-N-E!!! But NOOOOO the boys wanted more. 2 hours later we finally headed back to camp with sore necks and headaches. GRRRRRR We got some pretty good video of Alexa getting tossed around. She was in her car seat but it was still crazy. Oh yeah, on that little adventure Alexa learned how to go potty in the outdoors. She was very proud to tell everyone that she "peed on a rock". (Chris has the rocky video on his camera, I'll have to add it later.
