Start Summer Off with a Bang...Lake Powell!!

So, school got out at noon on Friday...by 1:00 we were in the car headed to Lake Powell!! We're not foolin' around this summer...let the fun begin! The first 2 days on the lake were basically a hurricane...we camped out in the houseboat making flipflops, painting toe nails, having a tatoo contest, testing out the new flatscreen tv, eating treats and playing games. The next 2 days were perfection!! Because of the rough weather the lake was like a ghost town and we got to enjoy the glassy water and open beaches all to ourselves! We took a cruise on the motorboat and just explored and enjoyed the scenery one day. The next day we went tubing, skiing and hiking! There is nowhere on Earth as relaxing as Lake Powell for me and I just LOVE to hang out with the kids all day. Audree loved making volcanoes out of the sand on the beach, Spencer loved finding clam shells and exploring with Dad, Karlee tried (and almost got up!) slolom skiing this year...it was an adult sized ski, otherwise she would have had it! Rylee loved tubing and trying to eat every treat on the boat! Jake and I both skiied this year (not bad for a couple of old farts!) and just enjoyed having the phones and computers turned off!
