Hey Kristi,
Yesterday we left for Nevada to visit my aunt, her family and grandma and grandpa. We got here at 4am this morning. (Utah time) We are all camping by a lake that has over-flowed and flooded it’s boundaries. There are a lot of trees surrounded by the lake here where we are camping. These are the only trees around and they are beautiful. Today we went swimming, barbequing, boating, and I skied for my first time! I got up on my first try! Pretty good, huh? And we went tubing. It was great! Tonight we are going to roast marshmallows around the camp fire, possibly. Well, sorry to be so short. I’ll write tomorrow.
Love, Melonie
