Last Day at Powell

This is a picture of everyone in my family that came to Lake Powell


On the last day we cleaned up the house boats and when we were heading back to Antelope Island, we picked up some extra people. My husband had noticed this boat driving in reverse, and then the people in it were starting to bail water out of it. We picked up the family and let them ride in the house boat with us. My brother in law Shannon towed their boat all the way back to Antelope. Rad and Mike took the other house boat back to Wahweap Marina and then met us at Antelope Marina. My girls all ended up going to Utah with my sisters. I am sure they are having a great time. Staci and Fred thank you both soooo much for the great weekend. You guys are the best.

3rd Day at Lake Powell

On the third day we took the long journey to Rainbow Bridge. We all piled into the boats and the teenage boys drove the wave runners there. This year we didn't have to hike quite as far to see it. The water at Powell is alot higher than last year. On the way back from Rainbow Bridge we stopped at Dangling Rope to get an ice cream. While we were there I saw Kristin Kempton that used to be in the Adobe Villa ward with us. She said she was there with some really good friends. When I saw who her really good friend was, it was funny because it was Lexi Brown a girl that was in my ward in Utah growing up. It is a small world.




















This picture of Dave cracks me up. He is teaching Kylie and Ally how to get some action shots.

2nd Day at Lake Powell

On the 2nd day my sisters and their husbands and Dave and I and Troy all went on the wave runners and went for a tour of the lake. It was alot of fun. We kept on spraying each other with the wave runners and getting each other wet. The teenagers had a pretend tea party. The younger kids went exploring with Rory and found a dead fish in the middle of the lake. The kids all had fun going on the water weeny and tubes. It is pretty cool when you can pull so many people behind the boat at once. I think Katie's favorite thing to do was to keep going down the slide. That night the older kids went and hung out at the old house boat and talked. The adults sat on top of the new house boat and watched the fire works. It was a great 4th of July!

1st Day at Lake Powell

We left for Powell on Wednesday night and drove half way and stayed at the Fergusons condo. Woke up early Thursday and arrived at Powell at around 9:00 a.m. The kids were so excited to see thier cousins. Staci's new house boat is so nice. It is kinda sad when your sisters house boat is alot nicer than your own house. The first day we went on the wave runners, went boating, we cleaned out Staci's old house boat. They just got new carpet and lanolium in it, so it was pretty dusty from having all the windows open on it. Suzie, my brother Dave and I got to sleep on thier old house boat, and everyone else stayed on the new one. Staci had bought enough sleeping bags and pillows to keeep on her boat for all the grandkids. The older grandkids all got to sleep on the top of the new boat. It was awesome having both boats, all the adults got to have thier own bedrooms. That night we all went up on top of the new house boat and watched the Brian Regan video.

Good Friends

Last week Michelle and her girls came into town. We went out to lunch and shopping with them. We had such a good time spending the day with them. We have really missed living by them. Her girls have really grown up since they moved 4 years ago.

EFY

Ashley had so much fun at EFY this year. Her camera broke the first day she was there. This is the only picture I have of her at EFY. I took it when we picked them up and took them to breakfast at Burger King. We need to see if we can get a copy of her friend Katies pictures.
