Much Needed Summer Vacation!

We made our annual week long Lake Powell Vacation last week! It was one of the best ever as far as weather goes! We luckily didn't have any storms and it was the perfect temperature! I think this was one of our first uneventful trips as far as breakdowns, storms and such goes!

Although uneventful in that aspect...it certainly was an eventful trip! We went down Saturday, hoping to leave at 8:30, but not actually getting out of town until 11. Then our stop in Price to eat Wingers, and visit Walmart. We eventually made it to Powell at about 5 pm. Here is the boat loaded with all of our stuff on the way to camp...

However, we get to our usual camp spot and the water is so high there is barely any beach left and to top it off...there is a houseboat there! We decided that we could share the area because it is such an awesome spot. We aren't so sure our neighbors were happy about it, but they left Tuesday anyway, so we didn't really care!

We spent the first couple days just lounging not doing much. Some of my favorite times in the trip were floating in the lake working on my tan...I made it my goal to get rid of my awful short tan line and by the end of the trip I had reached my goal!

Here are some of the other fun activities we did:

Hanging out at the marina letting the carp eat cheese off of Jordan's toes...
Hanging out at our favorite cove:
Jordan modeling some awesome clip-on shades he found at the dock:

Traveling to Tapestry Wall to see the dinosaur tracks... can you see them?

Hiking to this awesome cave..there were millions of baby frogs and tadpoles along the way:




Simultaneous cliff jumping, that's me on the shortest end, I'm not much of a cliff jumper:

A little kneeboarding:
Watching these crazy girls on the tube:
Hiking Hole in the Rock...yes we went to the VERY top of this. It was a crazy hike! I lost my shoes, Taylor lost a toenail, Monica lost the bottom of her foot to a blister...but all in all it was a fun hike!

Lake Powell is certainly one of my favorite places on earth! However after 8 days...I was very ready to come home! A big thank you to Billy's parents who provide so much for us while we are down there! Great meals, great company, great memories!
