Lake Powell

Is there ever a bad day at Lake Powell? According to our recent trip, the answer is no. We got to spend 4 days doing what we love most, BOATING!

We got the opportunity to go with some friends and family on a brand new houseboat. It was fantastic! Lake Powell will never be the same. :) We had air conditioning, an ice maker (that was found on the last day of the trip, after Bob & Pam's two trips to the marina) showers, hot tub, wave runners, and bedrooms to go around.

We also had some of the best company. Not only did Josh's uncle Bob and family go, but we also got to spend time with the Behuinin's, and also some of the Devey's! It is crazy how Josh and my family are all connected somehow, and we aren't even from the South! :)

We had great weather, other than a little wind on Saturday, and some short lived sprinkles Saturday night. It was just enough to calm the lake down for one last short blast. Blake and Sherry and Josh all tore it up!

We also got to try the Air Chair. Dang, that is hard! Both Josh and I weren't totally uncoordinated, but we both need a little more practice. Guess we will have to go with Blake and Sherry again!

Of course I only took a few pictures, and will post them and some videos of some serious surfing, and my bravest moment, so stay tuned!

This was one vacation I was not ready to come home from. We had such a great time, and it was so nice waking up on the water and with the sun every morning. Hopefully this will not be our last real skiing trip of the year. Lake Mead in October? Maybe?
