Lake Powell!

As part of our trip to Utah we also got to go to Lake PowellWe were invited by some of our friends in our ward to go and of course we couldn't pass it up! Tyler and Katie carpooled to Utah with us and Brandon and Molly met us down there on Saturday. We left on Saturday from my folks and made the drive to meet up with our friends in Provo. We arrived Saturday night and loaded on to the houseboat from the Bullfrog marina. The next day we made the trek down the canyon to the Rincon to find our spot for the next few days! We spent the next few days floating and catching some raysKatie- top left, Molly-bottom left, Lesley- top right and me!
As well as working on our wake boarding skills! David was way more entertaining than me to watch- he at least could jump! Me on the other hand- I got out and in the wake!
On one of the days we took the boat and went up to the Escalante canyon to do some exploring!
It is an amazing place we stopped at one point to climb up into an arch- that let me tell you- was waaaayy out of my height comfort zone! My legs were shaking! Tyler and Brandon stayed on the boat to get our picture in the arch! Can you see the fear in my eyes! And of course boys being boys- they had to push a huge rock down the side of the hill on the way down!
Then along the way we found a big rock just inches under the water and of course had to take the photo op!
The group- us, Tyler and Katie, Molly and BrandonThe weather was perfect, not too hot or too cold at night for sleeping out on the deck- although we did have one day of off and on rain. David did find a good way to kill some time as well- Comfy? he sure slept fine! All in all we had a great trip full of good memories and we can't wait to go back!
