Lake Powell with the Francis'

The other night, Mike was looking at the blog and said, 'You are a little behind, huh'. Yes.... yes, I am.....so, here is my attempt at a little catching up tonight.

We just had to make one more Lake Powell trip before we called it a summer. This time we headed to Wahweap and took the Francis' with us! We headed out on Thursday morning, they dropped Kash at Grandma's and we dropped Max at Roger & Cozette's. We know he missed being at that house because the kids love him and play with him there! Thanks again, R&C!

We got to the marina in the late afternoon and got settled in the hotel. Nicole and I ran to Walmart to get supplies and food for the next couple of days and picked up KFC on the way home. We stayed at the marina hotel and had 'junior suites' They were awesome! Two rooms with two tvs. The Francis' hung out at our room for dinner. The kids were in heaven!

The next day we were out bright and early. After a little breakfast at the Francis' room, we got on the boat and headed to this great sand hill. The pictures don't do it justice. It was super steep, but we all climbed it at least once. The kids did multiple, including Brandon who I think did it four times. It was super fun to run down or ski jump down.

We stayed and played in the white sand...it was really fine. Almost like the kind of sand you find in those Zen gardens. We met some people from West Jordan who we kept running into on the lake, in town, at the restuarant, at Walmart....

We also met a retired deputy sheriff from San Diego who was really interesting to talk to. We all agreed that this week was the one time you have to come down to Powell. It was perfect!

Cute little Zoe!

A little water ballet from Mike...or a 'howdy' wave....or something....

This game we learned from our West Jordan friends. You race down into the water until you fall in face first.....it was tons of fun.

Beautiful Sydney!
