Lake Powell

We took a family trip to Lake Powell, Just Mark, myself and the kids. I was a little nervous not having my sidekick/sister, Heather, around to help but we managed just fine. It was a great weekend with just our family. The weather was perfect and the water was beautiful as always.

Jacob and Ireland taking in the view in Clear Creek Canyon.


Kids in an Anasazi Ruin called Three Roof Ruin.


This is the view from Three Roof Ruin... it also gives you a good view of where Jacob rolled a 2 ft boulder off the cliff right into the side of MARK'S NEW BOAT! Lets just say... Jacob learned his lesson and will think twice or maybe even three times before ever rolling a pebble down a hill.


The kids loved the tube... Mark dragged us around forever. They scream if he starts going any faster that what is approved by Jacob (no water spray)... I think Mark will gradually pick up the speed and they wont even realize.


Anyone want to swim?
No Linda... Lake Powell does not have sharks! Just huge ugly fish!


Iree is always up for a photo shoot...


Mark and I at Cathedral in the Desert... Jacob loves being in charge of the camera.


My Boys at Cathedral in the Desert. It is a waterfall that falls into a little pool... it will be covered with water in the coming weeks as the lake rises.


Mark and his Boat!


Iree posing again... Isn't she too cute!



Mason napping... the hum of the boat works every time.



The kids looking in the underground house, another Anasazi Ruin called Defiance House in Forgotten Canyon.


Kids at Defiance House... they all agree this was their favorite spot of the trip.



Fender Fishing... the kids had a blast pretending that the fenders were fish, they would throw them in and then pull them back in the boat... hours of entertainment!

This trip was amazing... My family rocks! We are already checking the calender to find another good weekend to go. Love it!!!

I am not a water lover but that looks like a ton of fun! I'm so glad you're family is having so much fun with the boat so far. I doubt we'll be seeing you much this Summer with all your boating trips. Have a great time!
