Lake Powell

Lake Powell is one of my favorite place to vacation. We would go there growing up with my Uncle,and ever since Todd I were married I have told him about this wonderful place on earth. I mean really this is a beautiful place where all concept of time is lost. Cell phone reception is little to none-existent, you can see more stars in the night sky than I have ever seen, and if you wanted to you can just sit and float in the water all day long with not a care in the world. I finally got to share all this with my little family, and our Uncle Kevin thanks to a very nice man my husband works with who invited us to stay a week on his house boat.  My pictures tell all.....

We all loved it...

 

Okay almost all of us Bailey was not a very happy girl this week she was getting 4 of her molars, and was not a fan of the loud noise that the boat made.

However, we did get her to smile a few times.

Kambree loved the slide off the back of the house boat.

 

Karson made a new friend,

We played on the tubes...

Cliff jumped everywhere we could....and yes I got my children to jump to and they loved it!

 We jumped, rolled, and hopped down a giant sand dune...

Knee boarded, Skied, and my favorite learned how to wake board.

I'm sorry but one should not go a week without washing

their hair so one of the many joys at Lake Powell washing your hair in the lake.

 We explored a cave we could only get to by water.

This was my favorite spot. We parked our boats and ate lunch,

 it was very peaceful. Then we spent time swimming and jumping

 off the rock in the bottom corner.  Is this place not beautiful.

We HIKED up to an old Indian Ruin. It was little scary, but we all  made it.

This is the view from the ruin at the top of the cliff.

Our Hike/slide down from the ruin I didn't know if we would all make.  

We saw a lot of Lake Powell that I had never seen before. Including this "Secret" canyon that just keeps going and going and is so narrow the boats couldn't turn around we had to back out of it. At end is a big sand bar your supposed to be able to play on but it had rained the week before and the runoff made it so we could 't get the boats all the way back.

Rainbow bridge was beautiful and amazing to see.

A guide at rainbow bridge showed us a  dinosaur print in the rock.

Karson is  knelling by it, but it is kind of hard to see in the picture.

  We really had a good time and I can't wait until we can go back.
