July 24th

The very next morning after arriving in Salt Lake we headed up to East Canyon to play with all of Drew's side of the family. Jason had his boat at the reservior and the kids all played on the tube for the majority of the day. Nastia loved it. We wondered if she thought this is what day-to-day life is like in America.

We went on the boat a little more on Saturday as well. She had a blast. All of the kids did.

One funny thing about being in the water though--she loved being on the tube, she had no problems doing that. But she would also ask if she could jump into the water. We put her into the water a couple of times and she would really freak out. She still needs to get used to the fact that life jackets really do keep you on top of the water. We'll work on that one.

Nastia, Tyler and J.R. showing off their moves.
The kids again having fun on the tube. Pretty fun first day in America...Happy 24th!
