Lake Powell, Utah


June 24-29:

WOW!  Another fantastic vacation on the house boat at Lake Powell.  This is the 3rd time Hyrum's sister Andrea and her husband Craig have invited our family down to their houseboat for a vacation.  It is super fun and relaxing to spend time on the lake.  My boys love being out on the water and I love relaxing on the boat, reading:)  We were there with the Doxey family, Andrea and Craig as well as Jason and Oma.  It was great to spend time together as little family reunion.

Our house boat all set up and nestled in a safe bay

Emerson and Julian getting ready to go for a ride on the raft

Hyrum and Townsend on the jet ski, getting ready to pull the raft

Uncle Jason doing yoga on the rocks:)

Townsend and Emerson on the big "molecule" pulled by Uncle Craig's big boat.  Probably the boys #1 activity while at Lake Powell

We spent plenty of time escaping the heat of the day around this table playing card games

Hyrum, Oma, Andrea and Katrina...just floating around

We took the boat out one morning to go explore some of the beautiful canyons on the lake.

Some of the lovely canyon views we got to see


Hyrum, Julian and Jason take a bit of a dip in a cave that looks like a Hershey's kiss:)

Uncle Craig let Julian drive the boat for a bit:)

Hiking up the giant sand dune.  Yes, those are people, not just little dots on the sand:)

I love this photo of my crazy boys jumping off cliffs.  This is probably their 2nd favorite thing to do at Lake Powell...crazy!

Hyrum estimated this drop to be about 40 feet!  These boys were in heaven they were having so much fun!

Even Julian took part in the rock jumping!  I was so proud of him:)

The whole group posing for a photo on our last day.  Thank you so much for the fun trip Andrea and Craig...we are happy to come back anytime you invite us!
