Our annual Lake Powell trip was like every other year...soooooo much fun! I love it there. It is like a piece of heaven and this year we ditched Colbie with my mom and enjoyed every second of it. That sounds really bad- like i don't LOVE my baby but a 1 year old on a house boat in the middle of a huge, very deep lake, did not seem like a very relaxing vacation to me. So HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you to Grandpa and Grandma for taking the little bug for a week.
All of my kids are FISH and they love this trip. They were so happy in the water and playing with their cousins.
This was our bed on top of the house boat. We had such beautiful weather all week. A small wind storm the last night but it wasn't bad and it wasn't unbearable hot either. We parked the houseboat in a good spot that only got 2-3 hours of sun in the morning then shade the rest of the day. It was perfect!
Some of the Johnson family came with us on this trip and they are all such adorable girls. Cawas has a MAJOR crush on HOT Donna (the one on the left and her sister Kira on the right) He says he wants to marry her. I wish he could but she will be long gone by the time he is old enough.
Camden going head first down the slide. She was always in the water. I heart lifejackets. My kids know they can't go on the back deck of the house boat with out them so i didn't really have to worry about them tons. They did awesome!
We took lots of Boat rides.
And lots of tube rides. Camden, Kenzie, Ashlee, Libby and Bridger. Hold on tight!
Happy little kiddo. He started crying one night and i asked him what was wrong and he said he missed Colbie. It was so cute. He sat there and sobbed her name. What a sweet big brother.
We played the football game with the waverunners. Always a fan favorite. Blake didn't get this ball but it made for a great action shot. We also played out Golf Ball game this year but i didn't get pictures cause i was busy out playing.
A little nervous girl. She was just jumping in to try out skiing. This girl is crazy and will try anything.
She got up on her second time and did awesome. She kept going around and around our little cove. Finally Brook had to let go of her otherwise she would have just kept going and going. She even waved a little. So proud of our daring little fish!
We played lots of games and had very yummy food.
More tube rides. Me, Cawas and Brook and Blake was driving us. This is a new tube and it is so fun. It is super hard to tip and really fun for the little kids. Brook did tip it once. With Hot Donna, Ashlee and I. Oh man it was a HUMUGO wave and i really don't remember much just coming up out of the water and feeling like a drowned rat! It was way to much fun!
The water at Lake Powell (like everyother lake) this year was super high. So when we went to Forgotten Canyon to hike the Indian Ruins it really wasn't much of a hike at all. Just a short walk. Devin, Natalie, Camden, Hot Donna, Carter, and Bridger in the house.
Our little family. Minus the Cholbs. We sure did miss that little girlie!
This is our version of cliff diving. Much safer and tons of fun!
Off she goes. Seriously this girl has no fear. Thanks to everyone who made the trip so much fun and huge thanks to my in-laws for the awesome trip and also my parents for watching the Colbie Cheese! It really was the most relaxing trip i think i have been on since i started having kids. I might have to leave my kids behind more often...not!!!
