POWELL

We had such a blast spending a week in Lake Powell with my family! The weather was perfect the whole week with only one thunderstorm that sent all of us inside the houseboat in the middle of the night. The lightning gave us quite a show! In my opinion Lake Powell is one of the best places on earth and we were sad to have to come home. Here are some pictures of the many things we did on our vacation! Sorry they are kind of in random order.

Lounging & Soaking up some SUN!

My little STUD!

Brogan was so funny,
he would crawl all over in the water!
This kid has no FEAR just like his big brother!

It is so fun watching the cousins play and listening to the funny things they talk about!

PAPA Mick

Us adults tried to pretend we still had it, although our bodies told us otherwise the next day!
Dave Wakesurfing

Me attempting to get some air, although
it sure feels higher when you are out there doing it!

Jessie

Shawn

Ginny! Proud that after 10+ years she can still stand up on the kneeboard!

Just Chillin'

I think that our favorite part of the trip was watching our BRAVE & AWESOME nieces and nephews learn how to kneeboard and wakeboard!
Braxton was so brave and got up on his first try!

So Talented


Determined to do anything the boys can do

Mitch won the competition the boys were having to see who could get up in the least amount of tries. He got up on his second try!

Tricky Tricky, Faith and Braxton on the Tube!

We had lots of fun and until we go in September we will have to live with Utah Lake and cold Joe's Valley Water! Thanks Dad & Mom for such a fun trip!

Powell really is the greatest place on earth, I never want to leave! I am already having withdraws and I've only been back for two weeks :)I can't wait for September! It looks like you guys had a lot of fun with the family! You did better with taking pics than I did, I think I took a total of 15, and they were all crappy!

Looks like you guys had so much fun! I remember going to Powell with you guys when we were kids, it was so fun. And I miss the trips Bradyn and I used to take there every Memorial Weekend with our friends. Wish we had a boat but it's hard to have horses and a boat and to find time for both. I can't get over how cute Jaren is. He looks like a little boy and not a baby anymore. We need to get together soon.
