Lake Powell


Well, we were lucky enough to get in another trip to Lake Powell before school started. We had a blast!! We found a great beach after a long search. The lake was the busiest we have ever seen it!! Creed and Lacey and fam came and then Colleen joined us for the last half of the week. It was an amazing trip. There is no place else we would rather be!!
 

There were so many places to hike. It was pretty windy a few of the days, so we spent a lot of time up on the rocks. The little girls spent their time collecting seashells, while Braxton threw rocks off the cliffs and watched them crumble. So, there was fun for all. We even got to carve our names in the rock which I hadn't done since my Senior trip in high school. It brought back some really fun memories.

We actually got all of the kids to atleast TRY skiing. Maycee and Braxton were little studs (we had to bribe Brax with a lego set...but it was worth it. After he did it he loved it!) Haylee was even brave enough to let me help her try once. She didn't get up, but her, Lexee, and Kynlee let us practice pulling them up on the beach. It was so fun to watch them follow in Mom and Dad's footsteps. It was one of the moments that you always think about, and when it arrives it is just as neat as you thought it would be!! Thanks for some great memories kids!!
