Lake Powell~Truly the best vacation ever! I remember when I was a teenager my parents would ask where I wanted to go for vacation in the summer and I would always say Lake Powell.
Now here I am almost 30 years old and if you ask me where my number one vacation spot is I would honestly say Lake Powell!! What makes it so fun you ask?? Maybe its the 7 am ski runs on perfect water (yes I am old school and still ski) the rest of the fam has some mad wakeboard skills but I just haven't transitioned over. Maybe because I don't want everyone to look better than me. Maybe its the beautiful setting, the daily ice cream runs, boat rides up antelope canyon, cliff jumping (well ok this one I am always pressured into doing), or maybe its the fact that our little family of five has now become a big family of 17 and there is nothing I would rather do than spend time with all of them. So thanks Mom and Dad for a great trip (and for paying for it too!!) Same time same place next year!!
Oh and thanks to Nana Jane and Papa Bob for letting Ivy hang at their house for the entire week. While I missed my little girl like crazy, she just isn't quite old enough yet to truly enjoy the 110 degree Lake Powell experience.

We drove half way to Lake Powell and stayed the night at my parents place in St. Geroge. A great way to break up the drive and let the kids get some of their energy out.

Will's first time on the beach at Lake Powell. I think he is enjoying it!

Will's fav parts of the trip, driving the boat and wave runners, riding the tube, playing on the beach and best of all having his 10 cousins (whom he refers to as my friends) there with him.

Wait who is that? Oh I know I just had to brag. 28 years old and I can still ski. Now we will see if I can still do that when I am 38!!

Will and cousin Sara

My darling neices!
More pics to come soon if I can figure out how to get them off of a dang walgreens CD. Best ones are of my hubby getting some serious air on the wakeboard. Seriously he is a mad man. He doesn't even care how hard he crashes just how high he jumps. And yes he did have some nasty crashes!
