Lake Powell 2012!

Oh I love Lake Powell! Sorry in advance for the major picture overload!

We finally got there Sunday night about 5 minutes before they closed the ramp, Lance and Layton are the worriers and they were freaking out that we wouldn't get there in time. :)

Monday was a windy day so we kept the houseboat in the slip and just hung out for the day. 

We went on a little exploring drive...

Went down the slide...

Swam...

Then Dale and Rochelle (My Uncle and Aunt that we were with) took us to the "Bat Cave". Its a huge cave that you can drive in and goes clear back in and under. Layton started looking up and realizing how much rock was above us, and pretty soon he was ready to get out of there :) 




We went tubing...

The next morning, we woke up about 7 to the sound of us driving to our beach. Uncle Dale is just like my Dad, and loved waking us all up early every morning :)

Once we got settled into our beach we went out on and ski/wakeboard run.

Lance is nice and lets everyone else have a turn, then he goes last and makes us all feel bad about our skills (not on purpose of course :) 


Layton rode the ski board...

We got back to the houseboat and Lance helped the boys fish. They both caught one within 30 seconds of putting their poles in the water. I guess sunfish love old bacon :)


There weren't any other small kids and Lance was so great to keep the boys entertained all day...
They went on hikes...

Lots of swims (I was actually with on this one :)...

and kayaking around our little bay...

The next day I woke up and Lance and the boys were gone. I went out on the deck and saw them clear at the top of the cliff we were camped by...

Parker had been nervous about trying the ski board, but he decided he wanted to do it, and did such a great job. He had a little bit of a wild ride, but held on tight and was so cute doing it!



Don't mind my annoying voice in the video!

More drives with our little family... 


The boys worked and worked on a "house" for their toy waverunners...

They were building it up until the second we left to come home...



We love our houseboat!



This was such a different trip to not be there with my whole family. I really missed having my Mom and Dad there, it just wasn't the same without you guys! My Aunt and Uncle were so so great though and we loved being with them. They only had 4 in their group, and we just had our little family of four, so it was actually a pretty peaceful few days. I love the time our little family gets to spend together. I wish we could stay at this stage in our lives forever (except maybe minus the me, being 7 months pregnant part)!
