LAKE POWELL

Lake Powell this year was a little different than normal. The weather was crazy. I have never had as many storms as we had this time. Usually we are dying of heat but this year we actually were quite cold a good part of the time. Despite the craziness we were still able to have fun.

Rees loved playing in the sand and riding the Waverunner. He was so dang cute. We had so much fun just watching him.
Brooklyn trying to Wakeboard. She didn't quite make it but I'm sure she'll be ready next year.
Savannah knee boarding.
We are kind of mean parents and will sometimes force our kids to try stuff even though they are scared. Wyatt and Savannah both had to be gently pushed to get out on the knee board but once they did they were awesome. Wyatt did get up on his knees but we only got video of it not any pictures.
This was one of many waterfalls we saw after being caught in a major storm. We were soaked and freezing but it was a beautiful site.
Kelly falling off the tube. I just had to throw this one it because it makes me laugh.
Brooklyn didn't need much persuasion to knee board. She loves it. At the beginning of the week she only wanted to lay on her tummy and ride but we convinced her to get on her knees. Then after watching Austin do a 360 she just decided to try it without even telling us.

Jake, Megan & Kaylee came down for the first part of the week. We were so glad they came.
One day when we were returning from a tubing trip we put Rees in with Wyatt & Austin for an easy ride. After a few minutes we look out and Rees is asleep in the tube. He also slept through one of the major storms we were caught in.

I'm so glad you guys had a good time even though it was a different kind of trip with the weather and stuff. I love the pictures and the one with Kelly upside down as he fell out of the tube is PRICELESS! Laughed a lot! Love you guys!
