Families are like fudge - Mostly sweet with a few nuts...


(this is only half of the "McDermaid" bunch.)
(above: Derk - below: Kim) Derks uncle has some property in Kamas (located on the east side of Jordanelle Reservoir) so we decided to go up over the weekend and spend some time with the family. Derks brother Chaz completed his first triathalon held at Jordanelle, so the family went up early Saturday morning to support him. He did a great job. We had a ton of fun spending time with the "McDermaid" bunch. Derks family is so big (as you can see in the above picture). We went on the four wheeler and mostly just visited and let the kids play. Kinlee and her Grandma McDermaid spotted a deer on the trail when they were going for a walk. On Sunday, Derk and I left Kinlee with Derks parents and met some friends of ours at Jordanelle to go boating. Derk got to wakeboard for his first time. He got up after only 5 trys. It was my second time wakeboarding. What a blast. The water was about 67 degrees. It takes your breath away when you first jump in. After about a minute you just become numb and then it's not so bad. We are both very sore today.
