Lake Powell and other summer fun

Just a couple days after school let out for the summer the family took our yearly trip down to Lake Powell for a week. We had a great time on the boat, found a nice place to park the houseboat for the week and enjoyed lots of family time.

 

There is a great slide off the back of the houseboat, Claire of course loves it and goes down it all the time. Last year I went down it a time or two, but where we parked this year, it wasn't quite deep enough for me to feel too safe. Jack and Max are not huge fans of the slide, but they spent lots of time in the water.

 

The photo above is of Jackson, Claire and their cousin taking a walk along the rocks just above where we had the boat.

 

The above photo was taken from about where the kids were on the last pic looking back down onto out houseboat and ski boat. I just love Lake Powell, I can't imagine a summer without it now.

 

Another pic of two of mine and one cousin...I think Max was inside playing somewhere and wasn't too interested in climbing up the rocks.

 

There go the kids heading back to the houseboat.

 

In this photo above and many that follow you can see the amazing sunsets that we get each night while we're there. We sleep on top of the boat, enjoying the stars every night...and sometimes a bit of rain :( In the photo above you can see Jarrod driving off on the jetski waving goodbye.

 

That's just about the same photo...oh well :)

 

There he is coming back, probably to get a kid or two to take on a ride.

 

There he is with one of the kiddos...not sure which one as all three love to ride the jetski with daddy...mommy, not so much :)

 

The photo above shows all three of my boys coming back after a fun ride. jack and Max's hair was hilarious when they got back, sticking up from all the wind.

 

Another sunset. (really, Carrie? Couldn't have guessed.)

 

The above photo shows a Silent Rock...you must be silent as the car drives through a rock that has been cut to provide room for a road.

I have always wanted to go there! My husband and his family went there every year when he was younger. Maybe someday....
