Lake Powell

The second half of our Utah trip was spent at Lake Powell with my family. My brother and his wife left for China 3 days later to teach English for a year, so it was one last hurrah before they left. The weather was seriously perfect, and it was so fun being all together, we had a blast! Overload of pictures ahead…DSC_0285 Captain Kennedy! “Helping” grandpa drive the boat. DSC_0313 She loved swimming with Aunt Nene! Kennedy is the only grandchild on my side so she was definitely spoiled with attention the whole time we were there by grandparents, uncles and her aunt! The long drive home was a boring one with just mom and dad. DSC_0319Lake Powell 20101 She got to go on lots of wave runner rides with Spencer and daddyo, she loved it!Lake Powell 2010Our little Beach BabeDSC_0347 Chillin with grandpaDSC_0331 Zak busy building the sandcastle cityDSC_0362 The finished product and buildersDSC_0847

DSC_0740Relaxing on the “Relaxation Station.” Kennedy loved this thing, it was like her own little swimming pool in the middle. She’d jump and splash around and was the center of attention.DSC_0763 Gma great even joined us at the lake and Kennedy always made sure she had her attention too, “Hi gma great, watch gma great!”DSC_0758Making pancakes with daddyo  DSC_0780 DSC_0790 We had so much fun tubing! Lots of laughs and maybe a few bruises…but so worth it!DSC_0792We started with two on the single tube and 3 on the double and one by one all transferred to the single tube!DSC_0797  Success! We got all 5 of us on one tube!DSC_0798Us tubing and Christian wake-skating all at the same time!DSC_0874 Uncle Spencer got this BYU hat for Kennedy, so just before we left we had to get some pictures of them in their matching hats. Whenever she sees the hat, she says “Go Cougars!” or “Spencer gave it”DSC_0877Lake Powell holds many fond memories for Zak and I so it was sure fun to be able to spend part of our summer there and have Kennedy enjoy it with us! We LOVE Lake Powell!

You got such great pictures! I loved Lake Powell too. Kennedy was a bundle of cuteness. Remember her trying to say, "See ya later alligator. In a while crockadile?" So fun.

Your trip looks like so much fun!! And I am sure impressed you got FIVE people on one tube. I think our record may be 3, 4 if we were lucky. We need to learn your skills :)
