Lake Powell

Last week Justin and I went to Lake Powell with some friends. Mary was so great to watch our 2 boys while we went so we could have a relaxing vacation. This was the first time we ever went to Powell on a houseboat and it was great! The weather was perfect, high 90's the entire week.

Justin brought his fishing pole, of course, and was able to catch a lot of fish. As you can see, they weren't very big. It was cool because you could drop anything in the water and the fish would swarm after it. So fishing was dangling the food in the middle of the swarm and seeing which fish was brave or stupid enough to take the bate. It was pretty entertaining!

I absolutely love this picture of Justin! I think he's so CUTE!

Chad, Justin and Tom on the tube. They had the craziest ride because they were weighed down so much. They had some pretty good crashes but luckily no one got hurt.

Notice where Justins hands are? That was his way of telling the driver it was an easy relaxing ride. I beg to differ.

Justin wakeboarding--My camera would never take the pic at the right moment so I didn't get any good pics of him jumping the wake, oops
Rainbow Bridge--I hadn't been there since I was like 10 years old. It was cool to go back except now you have to hike in a mile to get to it. Before you could almost drive your boat right up to it.


It was my favorite Lake Powell trip ever! It was very relaxing and a nice get away. I wanted to go on a trip after Justin graduated as our gift to us for making it thru school. The kids were the perfect age to leave them and Mary even offered to watch them for us twice a year for a week! Wow, what a women! Thanks Mary for watching them and giving us a nice break! The kids loved staying with you guys!
