Lake Powell, Trip II

Cookie Jar, Padre Bay.

The planning for this trip started....2 1/2 weeks ago. When we were up the first week of July Matt ran into Ron's cousin Mark on the dock and came back and said they were going to be back with the whole family the end of the month. We though, hmmm, we're going to be back the end of the month as well. Our original plan was to sit in the dock for a few days since we had already taken a trip with the kids. Ron talked with Mark and we offered to go with them so they would have extra room with the whole family. It was so fun!!! I tried not to invade on their family time, but we sure enjoyed the meals together, card games, water games. I think the number was somewhere around 32-34 people.


Our houseboat is on the left, Lowell's on the right. We could walk back and forth between the two without getting wet or our feet sandy!


Late night card games for the 'younger' crowd.Early afternoon card games for the 'senior' group.
Sydney isn't nearly getting hit by the wave runner, but with the delay of the shutter, it missed her jumping off just a mili second before.

Austin was an awesome baby! He had a simple routine. Sleep, eat, play in the water, repeat. Naptime found him on our boat cause it was a little quieter.

Ron floating with an umbrella for shade. I must admit, there is a video of me going off the slide, but for some reason, it's just not working right. ron is more than welcome to become a computer wiz and figure out how to view and post it, until then...


Krista had this picture on her blog. I love the background. You just can't beat the views at Lake Powell, I love it!

Looks like fun, thanks for watching the kids last night. Drew woke me up at 5:30 am to show me his new shirt and toothbrush.
