LAKE POWELL

Ok, so I'm a little late on this one, but I just HAD to post some pics from our Labor Day trip to Lake Powell. We went with three other families from our neighborhood, and we had a fantastic weekend. The water was over 80 degrees. The weather, for the most part, was great. Our second night there we had the craziest wind storm come in that we thought was going to blow our tent, with us in it, into the lake. The wind was blowing so hard that the top of the tent was flat down on top of us. It seemed as if 10 people were surrounding our tent, shaking it as hard as they possible could. It was pretty crazy! Somehow, we survived. Between tubing, swimming out to a little island near our camp spot, searching for lizards and frogs, sand in everything, mud in Caleb's eye (that took us 20 minutes to dig out), and laying around eating lots of junk, we had a wonderful time. Those of you who have been to Powell can relate to what a great place it is. For those of you who haven't been, you better plan a trip.

Our good friends, the Meilsoes, brought their sailboat. Does this look like a postcard or what? The backdrop at Lake Powell is breathtaking.
