Powell….

 Amanda getting air on the new board. Mike said he'd give her $20 if she jumped half the wake. She got it!!

 The water weenie!  so many injuries :)

 Alli, Amanda, Sydney and Johnny

 Amanda getting help from Dad getting the right boot on. It was soooo tight!

 Lauren, Kevin, Alli & Sydney

 Johnny & Liz

 Scenic pictures that don't do Lake Powell justice!

 Sydney tearing it up!

 Amanda tearing it up!  Love the background on these photos!

 Sydney being funny with my phone and selfless! But, it's a fun perspective on launching the boat!

 More water weenie with Brandon front and center!

 The last night we were in the marina.  We opened up the glow sticks and went up top to mess around.  Pretty soon, I figured out a feature on my camera and we had cool pictures!!

 Since we were in the marina with a bunch of other houseboat people, we had the kids sleep indoors.  Here they all are in the living area of the houseboat.  They had a blast!

Greatest trip ever! No boat problems.  Great weather and fantastic company! The Wilgenseth's live on!!

More jumping

 Brandon got in on the action, but was nervous because of his ear tubes. He's supposed to wear earplugs in the lake…..oh well. He was fine :

And then Mike danced…..

 Mike is always trying to embarrass our kids.  He loves to dance!

 The kids secretly like it, I think!
Here goes Alli!

 And Kevin…this is when we came back after dinner and brought everyone that wanted to go!

More cliff jumping….

Cliff jumping

 We were taking this picture of Amanda because she wants to crop it in half and put another picture of her with her snowboard….we saw it on pinterest and it is awesome….so we'll keep working on that...

 Then, we found an acceptable cliff to jump. It was higher than it looks in these pictures.

My random photographer

Amanda is our budding photographer. Here are some of her shots from my camera…very artsy :)

Mikey rocking the knee board!!

Lake Powell 2014

Bumble Bee as affectionately nicknamed by Representative Brad Wilson

The girls needed a new wakeboard as they have grown too tall for the blue & white one.  They told us they are tired of getting 'neutral' colored everything because we plan on handing it down to Brandon.  So, we told them they could get a girly wakeboard and this is the one they picked! Yep, there is no mistaking that this is a girly wakeboard!  It made the girls super happy :)

 Sydney won the argument over who got to use the wakeboard first!  First run in Lake Powell!

 The right boot is tight, but it will loosen soon enough.  We went through a whole bottle of duck butter getting that boot on the girls….

 Here is Amanda! She is now learning to jump the wake.  Mike challenged her to jump to the middle of the wake and she actually did it toward the end of the trip. I love love love that our girls are so athletic and love to wakeboard and are willing to try anything!

 Amanda definitely has no fear…..

Shot of Sydney again….she is getting really good at wake boarding!
