Lake Powell 2012

We went to Lake Powell with Tyler's family again this year, and it was so much fun!! His parents have a houseboat, and it is most definitely the way to go! We had such a great time, and and the kids LOVED being there!! (disclaimer: there are A LOT of pictures!)

We found the most perfect place to camp for the week. We blocked off a fabulous cove with a great beach for the kids! It couldn't have been more perfect.

 Thayne and Jordan brought their paddle boards, which we might have to invest in. My kids LOVED them! They all did really good balancing on them. Abby was the best, and she couldn't get enough!

 Jake and Brighton having fun on the beach.

 Riley and Kaden getting ready to cliff jump. It was only about 8 feet, but perfect for all the kids!

 Jacob LOVES going on Grandpa's kid-ski. He is the king of tricks. Here he is doing "no hands"

 Me Surfing. It is seriously so fun!!

 Jake was getting bored waiting for everyone to get back in the boat so he could have a turn on the tube

 Riley learned to wake board this trip. He did SO good! It is fun to see the kids love being behind the boat.

 Grandma Becky took all of the kids on a nature walk.

 I think you will be safe in the water Tyler!

 Happy Birthday Grandma!! We celebrated Becky's birthday at Lake Powell.

 Jordan's friend Caleb brought some Chinese lanterns. We lit them and let them off the top of the houseboat. It looked like the scene in Tangled.

 Bathtime!! Abby and Avery so needed to get their hair washed. They chose to go down the slide to wash out all of the shampoo.

 Kaden, Riley, Abby, Garrett, Camri, Avery loving the front of the boat.

 We Love Lake Powell!!

I think the best part of the trip was that our good friends, the Beutlers kept Meili for us! They were so generous, and took such great care of her. Thanks you guys!!  Also, thanks Dallan & Becky, and EVERYONE else that was there for a great trip!! We love our family!
