Lake Powell

This year Lake Powell was the best, we had the best time ever. The Kids were great and so much fun it is amazing as they get older it becomes to be so much fun. This year we headed down on Wednesday morning bright and early, we wanted to get there and get a great spot was this year was great, it definitely was "A" spot. We arrived there around 11:00 in the morning the kids did great on the way there they both slept till Hanks ville. Makenna was so excited from then on kept saying, "when are going to get there?" so she was so excited when she finally saw the water and realized we were there. Makenna loves Lake Powell. We arrived there got the kids in there swim men suites and we got ready and then waited for the rest of the group. We had to wait alittle while for the wind to stop once it stopped we head out to look for a great beach well it didn't take to long till we found the perfect beach and started sitting camp up. Then it all started the great time at Lake Powell!!! The Makenna could not wait to start going down the slide, swimming, tubing. The weather was amazing the whole time, it was in the upper 80's and the low 90's not to hot!!!

Me and my girls all wearing a head raps with our piggy tails!!!


This what we do most of the time just sitting around the beach and hanging out!!


Sayla was hilarious the whole time, she was a happy camper, she loved to just play on the boat to go for rides enjoy floating in the water or just digging in the dirt.


This is Makenna catching her first fish this year in Lake Powell, John was so excited to go fishing with her even though it was a pink fishing pole.

Here comes the storm, It was amazing we could see it coming, it was by far one of the most amazing storms I have ever been in, There was lighting every where around us. The thunder was so loud, one time it was so loud that we all just scream it scared us but then bishop Bennett said a prayer and it all calmed down it was pretty cool!!!
