A pretty good description of all of us at Lake Powell . . . . This kid cracks me up!
So, I grew up with my parents going to Powell every fall. I never got to go. Something about an adult getaway minus the kids? I may not have understood when I was a kid, but now that I'm a Mom, I certainly understand. :) Well, this year, we FINALLY made it to Lake Powell. It was fabulous. Randy put it best when he said that Lake Powell is a hidden gem because it's so far away but SOOOO beautiful. My dad has a boat down there so we packed up the entire clan and went down for a few days. The kids had to wear life jackets the entire time of course and Kai threw a fit every. single. time. we had to put it on. Luckily his screaming didn't last long once the boat got moving. Even if the life jackets weren't a law, this mommy would keep them on her kids. It really helps with the peace of mind. Plus, my kids aren't afraid of much and that fact alone opens them up to boundless opportunities in a huge lake. It was especially nice to have Kai in his jacket because he couldn't move very fast at all. Poor kid. Anyway, here are a *few* pictures.
My favorite boys in the whole world . . .
We did a lot of tubing, wakeboarding, and kneeboarding. Robert and I took a few tries to get up on the board. Not Jessica. Oh no, she put us all to shame and got up on the very first try, then rocked it. Little brat. Anywho - I am loving the middle picture of my painted toes strapped into the wakeboard. There's something cool about that. Maybe it shows that we girls can be girly but hard core at the same time? :)
There were 11 people on this boat for 3 days straight. Luckily it was these people! We really have the best family in the entire world. (Oh, and Kai didn't actually lose his lunch. He just got a little over-zealous with the Gogurt.)
To say that Ava was a fish is a pretty big understatement. We couldn't keep her out of the water! She loved being on the tube. Even more so, she loved jumping into the tube from the boat. She probably would have slept in that water if I would have let her! And as you can see, Kai can apparently sleep anywhere, or any way.
My wonderful family and the cutest little swimming booties I've ever seen! Kai found the tube relaxing. In fact, it was relaxing enough he was typically asleep by the end of his ride.
My babies. Boy do I love them.
Seriously. How gorgeous is this place?
After the fun, we were all a little worn out. Thanks Mom and Dad for such a fabulous getaway!
